[sane-devel] blank page scanned with CanoScan LiDE25

[m. allan noah]

gentlemen- we have led YP astray. It seems that recent Ubuntu and
Fedora no longer install udev rules, but rather, use ConsoleKit and
hal to manage device access.

look around in /usr/share/hal/fdi for some sort of libsane.fdi file.
Verify that the scanner's usb vendor and device ids are in that file.
If they are, then perhaps the hal fdi cache is corrupt, see ubuntu bug
#211708 for a possible fix.
