<P><P>Hi Michael,
<BR>
<P>you are right.
<BR>
I did take a look at xsane.
<BR>
At first xsane can expect that the data depth is correct in
<BR>
the parameter struct because there is no reason at all why
<BR>
the backend does not now the bit depth before sane_start is
<BR>
called and so the backend has to set the correct value when
<BR>
it works conform to the SANE standard.
<BR>
<P>Although it is not nice that xsane produces a segfault it
<BR>
makes sense to create the gamma table before sane_start is
<BR>
called. The creation of the gamma tables can take some time
<BR>
and it is not good to interrupt the scanning for this
<BR>
what can happen on slow computers.
<BR>
<P>I will add a bugfix (some day).
<BR>
<P>Bye
<BR>
Oliver
