I have an Epson Perfection 640U which works under M$ but not Gentoo. I'm trying to follow gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_USB_Scanner, although it's not easy with so many variations being covered in the one document. I get as far as: # sane-find-scanner -q found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x010c [Perfection640 ]) at libusb:002:007 ...but: # scanimage -L No scanners were identified. [...] I can locate the /dev/usbdev* devices that are created when I plug the scanner in; changing their ownership to root:scanner has no effect on scanimage. I am in the scanner group, but running as root makes no difference anyway. Udev is at version 106, kernel 2.6.20, hotplug is started in the default run-level (though it seems to make no difference); what else can I say? Do I have to write a udev rule? /lib64/modules/2.6.20-gentoo/modules.usbmap contains nothing pertaining to my scanner, or is this a red herring? /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug contains a single blank line. Another red herring? -- Rgds Peter Humphrey Linux Counter 5290, Aug 93 -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
