I've seen strange things happen on my machine as well with old hotplug=20 scripts (Suse 8.2, upgraded to Suse kernel 2.6.5,=20 hotplug-2002-08-26). It seems that the hotplug script re-detects the=20 scanner after each scan. This sometimes causes the frontend to hang=20 when starting a new scan. I have a feeling that this also accounts=20 for some of the other problems people have using SANE on 2.6. > The scripts are exactly as they are in the distribution tarballs. I'm not sure if the scripts can be used with newer versions of=20 hotplug, but they should be easily adoptable. I haven't tried it=20 here, though. Another workaround may be to completely disable hotplugging for the=20 time being, but that has a number of other drawbacks. =2D -Oliver =2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQFAiT7E/V6sbrmfIuMRAqJvAJinWnvA5uD03mMuuhwfRKR4dlvKAJ9rQRpJ 3k6v2Dt23J0OkJ7QlM9FBw=3D=3D =3DZ66R =2D----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
