With latest pkgsrc it even works on sparc64 again ;-) I tried to get the non-libusb (i.e. uscanner0) version to work with latest sane-backends, but failed. So I support removal of uscanner* (commenting it out) from all GENERIC kernels. Instead we should improve our device ownership handling in a more general way. Jared suggested dynamic groups (i.e. the kernel magically adding the owner of /dev/console to a special group "consoleuser" or something similar), but there are other alternatives. Martin
