Is this the right list for help with scanner problems? I have been given an Agfa SnapScan scanner, claimed to be in working order with Windows XP. I've connected it to my usb hub and so to my Fedora F7 x86_64 box. I have installed xsane. When I run it I get a very brief flash of a text box in the middle of my screen which then vanishes, leaving this text in the terminal window. I haven't any idea where to proceed from here.
