The USB chipset on the motherboard is VIA and it appears that one of the chipsets on the VIA motherboard is 2.0 and that there may also be an older VIA usb 1.x style chipset as well. For what it's worth, the scanner is plugged into the back of the motherboard where the onboard plugs are.
It's a Microtek v6usl scanner http://www.muc.de/~bernds/mtek2/doc/sane-microtek2-supptable-doc.html This page seems to indicate that my scanner isn't supported by the USB drivers, but is supported by the SCSI support (the scanner has both.) I have s SCSI card and cable around somewhere I'll try to get it installed that way unless you have something else you'd like me to try. It was amazing how badly my home directory got munged when I tried to get the scanner going under Mandrake 9.1 through USB. -Joe Baker > > > > Using XSane I can acquire a preview, > > but when I try to acquire a real image, > > the scanner either freezes about 3/4 way down the page > > the application asking for the scan freezes up and then > > I see my keyboard lights flash, and then the whole system > > locks up. > > > > -Joe Baker > > > > > > > >
