Hi, I hope not to be a pain, but :

I just boughta brand new Mustek Scanexpress 12000SP, known to work
according to a local magazine.
I have RedHat 5.1 Intel, full install, out of the box.
I installed the sane-0.74-3.i386.rpm, and information related to a
scanner in dmesg looks like this :

[root@ecrehous /root]# dmesg | grep SCANNER
Vendor: SCANNER Model: Rev: 2.00
[root@ecrehous /root]#

find-scanner gives this :

[root@ecrehous /root]# find-scanner
find-scanner: found scanner "SCANNER 2.00" at device /dev/sgc
[root@ecrehous /root]#

scanimage -L gives this

[root@ecrehous /root]# scanimage -L
device `pnm:0' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
device `pnm:1' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
[root@ecrehous /root]#

and then xscanimage, when launched, shows a dialog window with only pnm0 and
pnm1 ... I'm in trouble ... what the hell could I try ?

I have :
tried to deinstall then reinstall rpm package
-> nope
tried to recompile
-> nope
tried to recompile + patches found at www.math.TU-BERLIN.de/fonktion/bolsch/sane
->
tried to create s symlink /dev/sane to /dev/sgc
->
[root@ecrehous /root]# ln -s /dev/sgc /dev/scanner
[root@ecrehous /root]# find-scanner
find-scanner: found scanner "SCANNER 2.00" at device /dev/scanner
find-scanner: found scanner "SCANNER 2.00" at device /dev/sgc
[root@ecrehous /root]# scanimage -L
... wiats forever ...

[root@ecrehous /root]# ls -lsa /dev/sgc
0 crwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 21, 2 May 5 22:32 /dev/sgc
[root@ecrehous /root]#
[root@ecrehous /root]# ls -lsa /dev/scanner
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Sep 20 00:59 /dev/scanner ->
/dev/sgc
[root@ecrehous /root]#

And the *real* issue it that I have to get that scan working 'cause I've some
urgent work to be done *real* soon ... TIA,
Christophe
