It's in xutils (I believe). Make sure you down-loaded task-x-window-core. I

correctly.

I bought a Canon scanner, Canoscan FB 620P, and am wondering if it works with

package but still getting this:

me of a fix for this?
Sorry I didn't include on my previous message that I'm running potato.

Try using dselect to select the kernel-source you want as well as kernel
package which has the scripts for a Debian-style kernel install. Read the
docs with kernel package.
I've tried both SuSe and RedHat and find Debian easier to get around in--most
of the time.
