On my system I have /etc/udev/rules.d/99-libsane.rules which belongs to media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.18-r2. I emerged xsane, sane-backends and sane-frontends and except for adding myself to the scanner group it "just worked". I have an Epson 1650 scanner. I don't use it much. Perhaps re-emerging the sane packages would clean things up. Dave F -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
