O.K. - now for the experiences when using --disable-ld-fix at ./configure time:<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; - What version of SANE are you using?</i><br>
0.62<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; - How was SANE configured? Did you use the --disable-ld-fix option?</i><br>
Yes. No other special options.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; - What SCSI adapter are you using?</i><br>
NCR53c400 as last time. And the scanner is a MFS12000 with 1.00 FW.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; - Does grayscale scanning work fine at various resolutions and without</i><br>
<i>&gt; dropped lines (e.g., try to scan a diagonal line to detect dropped</i><br>
<i>&gt; lines). If not, does it work for certain resolutions or do other</i><br>
<i>&gt; settings (such as "force backtracking") affect the result?</i><br>
No. No scanning at all works. The scanner locks after its three "calibration<br>
moves" it makes at startup. The PC will still work, but the scanner process <br>
will be left open and needs to be killed with -KILL.<br>
<p>
After setting back to the normal mode, I have checked the seldomly used <br>
modes and found the following :<br>
<p>
- Color Lineart and Color Halftone have wrong colors. Brightness seems all <br>
right, but color is wrong by far. Maybe the assignment of the color-planes<br>
is wrong.(Don't waste too much time on that - who needs it ?)<br>
- Halftone mode works fine, if a 0 pattern size is set. If you set a pattern,<br>
it doesn't work right.<br>
- The pattern vector does seem to have incorrect length constraints.<br>
You can only set up to pattern-size values. pattern-size^2 should be the<br>
correct limit.<br>
- Pattern setting itself seems to work right except for the far too small<br>
size.<br>
<p>
The halftoning mechanism works as follows :<br>
<p>
The image is scanned in grayscale-mode internally, but for each dot the <br>
scanner has an individual threshold to decide it is black or white. This <br>
threshold is in the halftoning matrix.<br>
<p>
Say we have a matrix of 1 3 and an all gray picture of value 3.5, we get<br>
2 4<br>
* * in the output. The downloaded matrix is repeated like a tile-pattern.<br>
* -<br>
<p>
Ask if I haven't made myself clear. The default matrix ain't bad, but rolling <br>
your own might be nice for some applications.<br>
<p>
CU,Andy<br>
