Replying to myself:
<BR>
<P>[About mustek backend and xsane/xscanimage hang]
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; I'm not very good at reading C source, so the following could be quite
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; wrong: I looked into the source (mustek.c) and I think the problem is related
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to sane_read and especially sane_read returning SANE_STATUS_GOOD with a len
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; of 0. That shouldn't happen in the blocking case (if I understand the SANE
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; standard correctly) but it does.
</EM><BR>
<P>It doesn't. If I disable sane_set_io_mode (only blocking possible) I can
<BR>
scan without any problems. Only non blocking mode hangs.
<BR>
<P>I'm not sure if it's the fault of mustek.c or xsane (or mine). The sane
<BR>
standard says that the filedescriptor that is returned by sane_get_select_fd
<BR>
should be closed when the next sane_read would get eof. I think mustek.c
<BR>
does this correctly (the reader_process is closed). For non blocking mode
<BR>
xsane uses a gdk_input_add watching the file descriptor it got from
<BR>
sane_get_select_fd for readable data. If there is data it will start
<BR>
xsane_read_image_data (which does sane_read) until there is no more data.
<BR>
The next call to sane_read would result in eof so the filedescriptor is
<BR>
closed. But I couldn't find any code in xsane checking for the closed fd.
<BR>
--&gt; deadlock. A simple change in xsane did it for me, I just added the
<BR>
GDK_INPUT_EXCEPTION to gdk_input_add so xsane_read_image_data is called on
<BR>
error conditions, too (xsane-preview.c and xsane-scan.c):
<BR>
<P>xsane.input_tag = gdk_input_add(fd, GDK_INPUT_READ|GDK_INPUT_EXCEPTION,
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;xsane_read_image_data, 0);
<BR>
<P>Would this be a fix or a new bug? I haven't looked into xscanimage.
<BR>
<P>I really don't know why it works with kernel 2.0.
<BR>
<P>Ciao,
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Henning
