This is what I get in terminal when trying to run Xsane in 12.04 Ubuntu [14.04 works fine]: :~$ xsane Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0". The program 'xsane' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 17713 error_code 8 request_code 155 minor_code 5) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Any suggestions of what is wrong or how to correct or test further?
