Package: xsane
Version: 0.99+0.991-1
Severity: normal
Thanks for maintaining Debian's xsane package.
It's remarkably useful.
Here's a workaround that allows xsane to function
in spite of a long standing bug that appears to be
in linux's Buslogic SCSI adapter driver. The bug
is described at
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2002-January/001476.html
I worked around the bug with version 2.6.12-1-k7
of the kernel, a Buslogic BT-946C SCSI adapter, a
UMAX Astra 1200S scanner and version 0.99+0.991-1
of xsane by configuring xsane to use 10 bits per
sample. This is done by: xsane->Window->Show
standard options->(choice of 8 or 10 bits per
sample). Choose 10 bits.
Thanks,
Kingsley
