Hello all,
My scanner was working OK till I did a 'emerge -uDv world'. xsane now
picks up my logitech webcam instead of my scanner and does not see my
scanner.
In root xsane sees both devices, asks me which one to use and all is OK,
so its a permissions problem.

Looking in hotplug I have stripped down the usermap to just my scanners
entry to make sure it is seen - it matches 055f 0008.

Should set my scanner to the scanner group but does not. If I unplug my
scanner & re-plug it in I get ...

Everything works AOK and I can scan. However unplugging & plugging in
scanners every time the machine starts is a pain.
Hotplug is started on bootup ...
vanda_comp 001 # rc-update add hotplug default
* hotplug already installed in runlevel default; skipping
vanda_comp 001 #
but does not seem to setup my scanner. I also found that just ...
vanda_comp 001 # /etc/init.d/hotplug restart
vanda_comp 001 #
does not setup my scanner, I do have to unplug & plug it in.
Any suggestions as to where to go from here ?
Dave
