Hi, I've been using the 1.0.44 gt68xx driver today with a Mustek Bearpaw 1200 CU scanner over USB (ohci) on linux on a dual Athlon-MP system with AMD 760MP chipset, using the patched kernel scanner driver for 2.4.20. Almost everything works well, and the results are generally excellent for a scanner that cost only about =A350!
Scanning in 8-bit grey 300dpi, though, leads to some random 'stretching' of parts of the result, and the head sometimes doesn't get to the end of the scan area. It's different each time. There are also some creaking noises from the scanner. It seems as if the drive belt is slipping slightly. The output is perfect at 150 or 600dpi though. In colour mode, 300dpi works fine too. Is there something to do with the driver that might cause this problem? Or is my scanner broken? (It hasn't been used very much, so that would be disappointing!) Thanks for any advice, --=20 Bill Gallafent.
