[sane-devel] Problem: X-Server crashes when using XSane

[cmschroeder at maxi-dsl.de]

Hi everyone,

today i had the chance to try if i get my scanner working and it  
worked. I thinks there is some hardwareproblem. nothing really was  
locked, but it kind of hung. So i tried some things with the lock  
screw and then it worked again. then it didn't work again and so on.  
But if it does not work, now i know what to do. And if i have the time  
again, i will try to open the transparency adaptor and look where it  
is hanging.

So thanks a lot everyone, especially Oliver!

Regards,
Christoph


PS: But i'm still wondering why it always worked in linart-scan mode?!
