it produced an empty file:

root at hal:/home/kanaan# display test.pnm
display: Improper image header `test.pnm' @ pnm.c/ReadPNMImage/297.
root at hal:/home/kanaan# ls -l test.pnm

it is a long file, but I guess the important part is here:

[gt68xx] gt68xx_device_memory_read: dev=0x1e75740, addr=0x1f80,
size=0x40, data=0x7fffeaf9b6c0

here is my ccd548.fw file:

root at hal:/home/kanaan# ls -l /usr/share/sane/gt68xx/ccd548.fw
-rwxr-xr-x 1 kanaan kanaan 8192 2010-06-17 13:45
/usr/share/sane/gt68xx/ccd548.fw

I have also chmoded the file to 777 , same results.

My first guess would be the file is bad somehow.  I have already
downloaded it form several different places, all of them are
identical.

cheers,

Antonio
