The newest patch, isn't it? If so it does not work. Using xscanimage the
scanner does not stop
at the end of the scanning area in lineart mode: it keeps banging on the edge
making horrible noises;
in color mode: error after the third pass. I recompiled
xsane and noticed the same behaviour.

Another problem: the light is now returning very slowly to the resting (initial?)
position.

Many thanks

Ed
