(Resend of prev. post, but with more info)
I have an Acer scanprisa 640UT USB scanner, and a mandrake8.0 setup (sane
1.0.4).
I do this:
Boot up computer and turn on scanner
mknod /dev/usbscanner c 180 48
acerfirm /dev/usbscanner u64v119.bin
[root@localhost /root]# ./acerfirm -v /dev/usbscanner u64v119.bin

The LED flashes and the scanner moves the light some, sounds very normal.
Then I start xsane, which looks for devices and then informs me that it found
none.(I am root)
[root@localhost /root]# xsane
[sanei_debug] Setting debug level of snapscan to 2.
[snapscan] add_device: error opening device /dev/scanner: Invalid argument
[snapscan] add_device: error opening device /dev/sga: Invalid argument
[snapscan] mini_inquiry: sanei_scsi_cmd command failed: Error during device I/O
[snapscan] add_device: mini_inquiry failed with Error during device I/O.
[root@localhost /root]#
What have I missed ?
I have put /dev/usbscaner in snapscan.conf
I have tried making /dev/usb/scanner0 a symbolic link to /dev/usvscanner
