Oi, for displaying HTML help pages XSane calls always the web browser Netscape and does not try another browser if Netscape is not installed. As newer distros do not ship Netscape any more (or they ship it only in boxed editions) it is often not possible to call the help pages out of XSane.
Daouda Lo from MandrakeSoft (daouda at mandrakesoft dot com) has made a patch (for XSane 0.91) to use the BROWSER environment variable which we use in Mandrake Linux from now on as long as the problem is not solved upstream. I have made the patch available here http://www.linuxprinting.org/till/tmp/xsane-0.91-browser.patch.bz2 Oliver, can you apply it to XSane, so that the browser problem will be solved in 0.92? Thanks in advance. Till
