Trying the -386 kernel on Dapper gave me a kernel panic. Trying the driver on FreeBSD 4.10 (same author as the Linux driver, I believe) didn't panic but also didn't work. Trying the MS-DOS diagnostic (I really should have done this first...) didn't find the card at all. Why the silly thing is hard-wired to IRQ 15, I don't know. I've been told to give up.

[SLUG] Re: sane - "failed to start scanner - invalid argument"
Hi David, So there is nothing on the CD that finishes with .bin??? Odd.. Are you, as a user, part of the 'scanner' group? I think I had to add myself to this too? One thing to try is see if you can use the scanner as root (I'm not sure if you should do this whilst logged in as root, or merely execute sudo -s -H then enter your password and then execute 'xsane' Try both. If it works as root then you need to be part of the scanner group (someone will correct my terminology :)) It it doesn't work, then you may need to find the .bin file. You could try the afga site or www.drivers.com - this can be a very useful site at times. Let me know. If I can't help you with this, someone far more knowledgeable in the group will be able to.

Re: [SLUG] Decent widescreen LCD display?

Go up the stack, get a 24" widescreen LCD from Dell. It uses the same panel as the Apple displays, and you can find 20% discounts if you look at their product page regularly.
