For the final release I have added a check to Scannerdrake that all devices with
"ISDN" or "ADSL" in their decription fields will not be added to the scanner list.
Probably you have connected your scanner to a SCSI controller. There is a known
bug in Scannerdrake that it asks again and again for the configuration of SCSI
scanners even if they are correctly configured. The bug is already fixed and the
fix will also be included in the final release of Mandrake 9.1. For the time
being simply start the scanning software of your choice (XSane or so) and you
will be able to scan. The bug in Scannerdrake will not appear when you connect
your scanner to the USB.
Both fixes will be available on the Cooker with the next drakxtools package
(9.1-22mdk).
The new MDKDM login manager has intendedly no possibility for root login to
discourage users from running a desktop as root. Do one of the following things:
1. Log in as normal user and choose one of the following entries in the desktop
menues, depending on which admin task you want to do:
- Configuration -> Mandrake Control Center
- Applications -> File tools -> File Manager - Super User Mode
- Terminals -> Konsole - Super User Mode
Some admin tools (as the KDE Printing Manager in the KDE Control Center or the
web interface of CUPS, http://localhost:631/) have an administrator mode and
or/ask for the root password if needed.
2. Log in as a normal user, open a console/terminal window, and type "su -"
after typing the root password you can run commands with root rights. You can
also start X applications as "drakconf" or "scannerdrake" in this terminal window.
3. If the machine you want to do administration on does not stand in your
office, do "ssh root@<host name or IP>" in a terminal window on your machine.
4. Run "drakedm" as root and switch to the KDM or GDM login manager.
Please report whether all is working for you now.

description:
On my syetem, motherboard Abit BE6-II, the configuration of the scanner EPSON
1640SU connected in USB fails. Ater installation, the ISDN USB adapter is
wrongly reckognized as a scanner. Configuration of the scanner in Mandrake
Configuration takes the EPSON1640SU, detects it by sensing the hardware, but
does not put it in the confiration. Proof by rebooting. It was imossible to log
as root, because there is no possibility in GUI (KDE or GNOME) to login as root
after logging out of a normal user.
