aloha frank

i'm fairly sure the sane gurus can help you, but they will need
a bit more info relative to the problem you are experiencing.

xsane crashes, but does scanimage (rtfm scanimage(1) from the
command line work?

what does scanimage -L report?

rtfm sane-genesys(1) and see if there are any clues there that
might help you help yourself.

finally, you might get clues by reading thru the sane-devel archives
for the lide-220.

best of luck
