Hi, When I first installed Gentoo on my main machine about a month ago, my scanner was working just fine. I don't use it that much, but today when I went to use it (using xsane), I got a message that no devices were found.
I checked dmesg and as far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong. The only thing that I did that might have affected it (although it doesn't seem to have affected anything else) is: emerge --update --deep mozilla-firefox (because there was an updated Firefox package) When I did this, emerge updated 26 packages including some x packages, so I don't know if this is what is causing the problem. The scanner works in Window - I tested it to be sure that it wasn't a scanner problem. Additionally, I used to have this problem when I ran FC4 all the time. I have a USB printer, zip drive and game pad all connected to my system and all work fine. The scanner is USB as well and in FC4, I used to always have to remove the usb cable and plug it back in again and then I could get xsane to recognize the scanner. However, I tried that and had no luck. Any ideas? Regards, Colleen -- [email protected] mailing list
