I give up, obviously sane does not work like it is supposed to. I load the driver with make load, and scanner light comes on, I unload it with make unload, I get this:
[root@buddy plustek_driver]# make unload /sbin/modprobe -r pt_drv || exit 1 rm -f /dev/pt_drv* looks fine, no problem. Now I load it with make load and I get this: [root@buddy plustek_driver]# make load /sbin/modprobe pt_drv || exit 1 /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/misc/pt_drv.o: init_module: Success Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/misc/pt_drv.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/misc/pt_drv.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/misc/pt_drv.o: insmod pt_drv failed make: *** [load] Error 1 ok, it says on the 2nd line "Success" but appearantly NOT! and if the IO or IRQ's are wrong, how am I supposed to check after all the system doesn't reconized the scanner? now I make unload again and do "insmod pt_drv" and I get this: [root@buddy plustek_driver]# insmod pt_drv Using /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/misc/pt_drv.o /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/misc/pt_drv.o: init_module: Success Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters looks like a success! but I do rmmod pt_drv and I get this: [root@buddy plustek_driver]# rmmod pt_drv rmmod: module pt_drv is not loaded after all this loading and unloading, the scanner light is STILL ON no matter if the driver is loaded or not! here is my /etc/modules.conf: alias char-major-40 pt_drv pre-install pt_drv modprobe -k parport options pt_drv lampoff=180 warmup=15 port=0x378 lOffonEnd=1 mov=4 slowIO=0 forceMode=2 here is my /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf: # enable the next line if you want to allow access through the network: net plustek here is my /usr/local/etc/sane.d/plustek.conf: # Plustek-SANE Backend configuration file # # # # for multiple devices use # /dev/pt_drv0 # /dev/pt_drv1 # /dev/pt_drv2 # # usb 0x07B3-0x0017 # /dev/usbscanner # parport /dev/pt_drv even rmmod parport come up as this: [root@buddy sane.d]# rmmod parport parport: Device or resource busy this is crazy, can anyone convince me not to give up? if it's supposed to work, why then isn't it?
