Hi, It seems to be working fine now. This is what I did.
ln -s /dev/sg0 /dev/scanner It fires up in the first try now!

When I start xsane, it says something > like "xsane: no devices available." Just for grins I did a: I had the same problem with xsane not finding the device. There is a file in the xsane distribution named xsane.PROBLEMS and xsane.INSTALL. Study these file. - For sane-1.0.1 you have to edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add a line with the path to the libraries (normally /usr/local/lib/sane), then call ldconfig. THIS MUST BE DONE AS ROOT! - For sane-1.0.2 (and later versions) the path to the xsane libs MUST NOT be listed in /etc/ld.so.conf My ld.so.conf: (Redhat 6.1) /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib /usr/lib/qt-1.44/lib /usr/lib/qt-2.0.1/lib /usr/local/lib > [root@msp mark]# sane-find-scanner > # Note that sane-find-scanner will find any scanner that is connected > # to a SCSI bus.

With me here I get: sane-find-scanner sane-find-scanner: found SCSI scanner "SCANNER 1.11" at device /dev/scanner sane-find-scanner: found SCSI scanner "SCANNER 1.11" at device /dev/sg0 sane-find-scanner: found SCSI scanner "SCANNER 1.11" at device /dev/sga > Then I executed xsane again and it gave me the "xsane: no devices > available" ONCE.
