Getting weirdness too...
Try doing xsane -s, if that fails try doing it twice and check the message window. I was getting the same problem and noticed SCSI errors in the message window and had to try a few times before it saw the device.
Also, try running it as root, there must be a setting somewhere that enables a user to use the scanner.

Thanks for your quick response. The xsane -s didn't work. Su'd and still didn't work. logged in as root and bothe xsane and xscanimage no problem. did a chmod for /dev/sga logged back in as user and lo and behold--it all works. Its often the simple things that get you; I was being totally misled by the "processor" identification Happy now though Ta -- Stu "The specification said Windows 95 or better, so I installed Linux"
