	Hello,

	HP2400/G2410 support completion comes quite often. What is needed is test 
and tweaking of the values defined in genesys_gl646.h for the 
CCD_HP2400/MOTOR_HP2400 in the mode table definitions. For instance the 
vertical image distortion and head going too far may be due to using single 
step instead of half step or half instaed of quater.
	The process should be run a test with full debug log like :

export SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS=255
export SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS_LOW=255
export SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS_GL646=255
scanimage -d genesys --resolution 50 --mode Color 2>try.log >try.pnm

	then compare the values (mostly register settings and slope tables) with 
logs recorded under windows, and fix what's needed. This process requires you 
have a device to test with. There isn't much code (if any) to touch.

	I repost the scripts I use to decode UBS logs (done with usbsnoop from 
http://www.pcausa.com/Utilities/UsbSnoop/)

Regards,
	Stef
