Hi Monika, If I understand your question, you are facing problems when you run sane as a normal user. It's probably because the permissions are not correctly set, so the root is the only one allowed to write to the scanner. You should then read http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux and try to solve your problem as indicated. Another possible meaning for your mail is the following : you first run xsane in a root session, and then you try to run it _simultaneously_ as a normal user. In that case the root session could lock the device, but I frankly do not understand why you would need to do that...
Anyway, if the problem gets hard to solve, it will become impossible to understand once passed through an automatic translator... As many people in the sane project are German-speaking persons, you could address to them directly in German, and even if I don't want to encourage people in speaking on the list in other languages than English, I personnally wouldn't care...
