You should need a driver for the card. A lot of the cards bundled with scanners
are barely scsi-standard compliant. If you can find a driver for it and it
works then great, but you may be needing to buy a 'proper'scsi card.

First for permissions:
you might like to create a link /dev/scanner that points to /dev/sg2. You can
create a group, e.g. 'scanner' and change the group ownership of the device
to that group. Then you can give whichever users membership of that group,
that should allow them access.
I might be wrong on this one but....
isn't xsane the backend to xscanimage? In other words, xscanimage is the
piece of software you 'see' and interact with. To put it this way, if
xscanimage allows you to scan and preview etc in X, then what would xsane do?
I recal that the response to your trying to run 'xsane' yourself is that same
that I got when trying to do the same thing. I believe that xsane is actually
working fine (hence xscanimage works).

This'll have to be quick as I'm short on time.
Go to the linux documentation project
http://doc.rmplc.co.uk/linux/LDP/HOWTO/XWindow-User-HOWTO.html
should tell you how to set up what you want. You'll be wanting to edit
the config for gdm, as you run gnome I'd imagine. It'll involve sticking
'xset dpms x y z' in the relevant file (the doc should tell you what
that file is), x y and z are the time delays for blank, standby and
powerdown (IIRC)
Guy
If I'm right then this should apply to a gdm login window as well as
when a user is logged in.

Nothing is actually "wrong" about this. The drive has just been
translated differently. Just calculate C*H:
3736*255=952680
59554*16=952864
As you see it's nearly identical.

This just MIGHT be a consequence of something mentioned in the <a
href=http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Ultra-DMA.html>Ultra-DMA mini-
HOWTO</a>. Namely that enabling UDMA for certain drives on certain
controllers with certain kernel versions will cause a system hangup.
Try disabling UDMA with hdparm. It might or might not work. If I were
you, I'd wait for someone else to reply to this and compare answers.

This would be consistent with the above theory, as that drive doesn't
use UDMA.

What have you been trying? I have an HP LJ 4 MV and I used printtool to
set
up the printer in this way:
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:rm=ljmv4:\
:rp=raw:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:\

The remote port is 'raw' and I set it up to be a Postscript printer.

Anyway, how would this affect the changing of resolution in X-windows

Hi Jon, I know this chapter.
I think you meant "11.1 Bios complications" of the HOWTO. But I am not sure
if this situation holds for me, because at the beginning of the
chapter, it is said that the problem disappeared since 2.2.2 and I have
2.2.14. So here I should be on the safe side.
At the end of the chapter it is mentioned that this can happen, if
the disk was partitioned using a geometry translation. I will have
a closer look to this by inspecting the MBR of the disk or by just deleting
the MBR and using Debians cfdisk for a new partition table. But normally
I also should have no problems here, because I used the Win95b fdisk
first and this support disks greater than 8,4GB and the Debian cfdisk
also had no problems to interprete this partition table correctly.

Because of the limitations of the ISA bus, you will never get 100Mbit
out of an ISA card. Best you can get is about 20Mbit, but "10/100" ISA
cards are sort of difficult to find and pricey. See if you can pick up
a 3Com509--they're reliable, easy to configure (DOS 3C5X9CFG.EXE will do
it, or there's a Linux utility that can reprogram the EEPROM for a
specific IRQ/IO), work great with Linux, and cheap.
