  I own a microtex X6 and the colors appear green sometimes.
  This is a known problem and I was advised to upgrade the
  firmware of the scaner to 1.6 ( It is now 1.0)

  This sounds difficult to me.

  An alternative aproach might be the following:
  Now I have to scan a picture twice, if the first
  scanning is green I change the x-coordinade of the
  scanning area one pixel to the left or right and the colors
  are correct.

  I also think that in 200dpi resolution I got always correct colors
  if the x-coordinate is divisible by 2.
  This channges in different resulotions.
  Question:
  Can one think of a general formula of the correct x-coordinates?

  If the answer is yes, then I will try to modify xsane so that the possible
  coordinates of the scanning area give correct colors
  (for example in the 200dpi resolution the marching area selection
  tool has to move in steps of 2.)
