I have duplicated the problem you have with the version of sane-backends you checked out from cvs. I have also gotten the problem to change to the light bar not moving by using the version of avision at
http://svn.exactcode.de/sane-avision/trunk/ Please note that if you use this version you must also get sanei-usb.c and sanei-usb.h from the sanei directory at that URL. The archive of this list contains posts indicating that the symptoms you describe have been fixed. I currently am looking for a way to do a regression test to find that version of avision that doesn't exhibit these symptoms. I'm sorry I can't offer you any solutions, but as I make progress, if I do, I'll be sure to post them to this list. Good luck Dan
