Installed a new Epson Perfection 2400 Photo scanner recently. All went well after Epson Iscan was installed. Successfully used Iscan, Kooka, XScanImage, and GIMP w/plugin. Now every time I reboot, the module is not loaded, and I have to reinstall the scanner with Yast (it is not shown as an installed or configured scanner). Looked at sysconfig: It showed the scanner module in "Hotplug_USB_Modules_To_Unload". After clearing this entry there is no change. Should I leave this entry alone? The scanner is automatically powered on at reboot during "detecting hotplug devices". To get the scanner to work I have to load the module manually with insmod, then reinstall the scanner with Yast, every time. Please point me in the right direction. TIA Bernd
