That means: only root can scan - is that really what you want??<br>
I would prefer chmod 666 /dev/sg0 to allow ordinary users to<br>
make scans.<br>
BTW: I also recommend for compatibility reasons:<br>
     ln /dev/sg0 /dev/sga<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; find-scanner: found scanner "ULTIMA AT6 1.01" at device /dev/sg0</i><br>
<p>
Is ok no failure.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; &gt; scanimage -h -d artec:/dev/sga</i><br>

<i>&gt;     --mode Lineart|Halftone|Gray|Color [Color]</i><br>

<i>&gt; &lt;SNIP...&gt;</i><br>
<p>
So till now everything works<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; &gt; Try xscanimage.</i><br>
<p>
Nothing happend - as I suppose.<br>
<p>
Just to be sure: Did you start X as normal user and<br>
the su - to become root in order to get the permission to<br>
scan? If so: After changing the permissions you can use<br>
xscanimage as user - no need to become root.<br>

Host: scsi0 -&gt; That's your SCSI-CARD.<br>
Id: 01 -&gt; That's the Scanners ID - preferably don't use ID 0 or 1 -<br>
    these IDs are normally reserved for HDs. Better use ID 2 and <br>
    reboot. During reboot: If you have an Adaptec-Controller:<br>
    Go in the configuration Menu and configure your Adapter.<br>
    Probably it has ID0 and ID1 reserved for HD - this might be<br>
    the origin of Problems. The links for /dev/scanner you don*t neet<br>
    to change.<br>
<p>
Happy scanning - it should work now. :-)<br>
