Hello, my Problem was the rights management ... try before using yast ... chmod 777 /dev/sg3 ... maybe now the user have access ... but you need to set the access with every reboot ... hth OLI Am Son, 2003-07-27 um 01.40 schrieb Christof Schmitt:

Hello list,

after a 'insmod advansys' command in '/etc/init.d/boot.local' the Advansys-Card works (as 'cdrecord --scanbus' shows). That's allright.

But if i want to work with the scanner, i have to "install" the scanner with YAST -> Hardware -> scanner as ROOT (immediatly after YAST -> Hardware -> scanner YAST shows the right scanner as 'installed' - strange, but that the fact). After that i (as USER) can use the scanner by GIMP. Shutting down the system there is the message: 'Resetting /dev/sg3' (or similar text - /dev/sg3 is the scanner) and after the next boot i have to "install" the scanner again.

What i have to do, if i want to use the scanner as user (maybe) by booting the system? And is there a way to pre-install the scanner? YAST or the system seems to loose the settings while shutting down.

best regards,
