Holiday Greeetings to all; I just rebooted to a 2.6.0-mm1 kernel, rebuilt without drivers/usb/scanner.
Its my understanding from copying the mail here that this should force the use of libusb since the scanner in the kernel usb stuff is being deprecated. And, I've tried to install the tar.gz if libusb-0.1.7 but do not know if its complete since the make bailed out for lack of docbook stuff on this machine. But a make install immediately after didn't bail. And I ran ldconfig after the install. It seems to be there: ------------------------ [root@coyote root]# ls -l /usr/local/lib/libusb* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 19 Dec 25 21:10 /usr/local/lib/libusb-0.1.so.4 -> libusb-0.1.so.4.3.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 31900 Dec 25 21:10 /usr/local/lib/libusb-0.1.so.4.3.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29052 Dec 25 21:10 /usr/local/lib/libusb.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 710 Dec 25 21:10 /usr/local/lib/libusb.la lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 19 Dec 25 21:10 /usr/local/lib/libusb.so -> libusb-0.1.so.4.3.0 ------------------------- Now the scanner isn't registered in dmesg like it was before when scanner.ko was a piece of the kernel, not a module. xsane cannot find it now. But, this is what I get from the usual suspects. ------------------------------- [root@coyote root]# sane-find-scanner # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that # you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter. found USB scanner (vendor=0x046d, product=0x0900) at libusb:003:005 found USB scanner (vendor=0x1453, product=0x4026) at libusb:003:004 found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x010f [EPSON Scanner 010F]) at libusb:002:002 # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. # Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports can't be # detected by this program. [root@coyote root]# scanimage -L device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname BT878 video (Hauppauge (bt878)) virtual device device `v4l:/dev/bttv0' is a Noname BT878 video (Hauppauge (bt878)) virtual device [root@coyote root]# ----------------- So where am I still miss-configured vis-a-vis using libusb? Plz note that the first two items listed above in the sane-find-scanner output are not scanners, so there is a bit of ambiguity there. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.22% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.
