...ok...hmmm...you should be able to "mount" the camera as an actual "file system"...there was talk of this a week back - so you might want to dig through the messages and find the one pertaining to the USB camera... ...now with SANE/XSANE - this is strange. It appears to have already detected the scanner, but ain't doin' a thing now...what about when you reboot - are the modules loading - or does the scanner "re-appear" ? -- Tue Dec 17 12:35:01 EST 2002 12:35pm up 15:36, 4 users, load average: 0.12, 0.34, 0.56 .o0 linux user:267497 0o. -------------------------------- | __ __ | k�hn media australia | / \ /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen k�hn | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | ;"""/ / | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU -------------------------------- Coralament*Best Gr�tens*Liebe Gr��e*Best Regards*Elkorajn Salutojn I'm not an Iranian!!
