As Gerard already suggested, update at least SANE to 1.0.15. as this version should handle the LiDE20 reasonably well. The 1.0.10 is far too old. Upgrading SANE within a SuSE system could be done easily - checkout http://packman.links2linux.de. Kooka itself as scanning frontend is IMHO not very good. Try use XSANE. If you need Kooka, then you should probably upgrade the entire KDE system. Migrating to a newer SuSE is not necessary. I'm running here a SuSE 9.0 and KDE3.4... Ciao, Gerhard
