May be related to the troubles I'm having with my Vuego 610s on Mandrake 9.0. Uses same snapscan back-end. I've got it working using console command scanimage but xsane doesn't recognize the device. This is what I've done:
1) explicitly added aic7xxx support in my /etc/modules.conf file 2) uncommented all usb-related stuff in /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf 3) only device listed in /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf now is /dev/sg0 4) The device name for my Scanner is Flatbedscanner_4 so I've added "Flat *" to snapscan.conf. I'm not sure if this helps though. Anyone care to educate me about this? Now I have two devices listed in /proc/scsi/scsi (CD-R + Flatbedscanner), sane-find-scanner lists my scanner but scanimge -L doesn't list it. Weird. I'm calling scanimage and redirecting stdout to file like this: scanimage --format=tiff -d snapscan:/dev/sg0 > /home/fieke/Desktop/somefile.tiff xSane still doesn't work though. There's no option to select Vuego 610s in Harddrake, but I understand it's a rebranded Acer 610 so I've installed that. Still not working. I'd like to get it to work but if there's no workaround I guess I can live without it. ;-( I'm going to try the earlier dll.conf comment tonight. I noticed that after running Harddrake there was an empty file called SnapScan.conf in addition to snapscan.conf. At the time I didn't know what it was so I modded it to have /dev/sg0 as device just like snapscan.conf. Seems like built-in Mandrake scanner support uses wrong spelling. Cheers & merry x-mas !
