So the questions...
Do I need usbdevfs to get this scanner working?
You definitely do need a working usb subsystem.
If so, which rpm package is it in?
You already have it. usbdevfs was replaced by usbfs when the kernel changed from 2.4 to 2.6. You can verify you have this by typing mount in a console, it will be listed.
Joe, Thanks for the reply. They should hire you to redo the docs. Yeah, I've run mount several times and have seen it... because I was looking hoping for usbdevfs. Okay, so I don't have to chase that ghost anymore because I do have usbfs mounted. But now there's a couple other questions. Why can't yast associate a scanner with the "backend" (aka driver)? Probably the same reason "sane-find-scanner" works: # sane-find-scanner ... found USB scanner (vendor=0x05da, product=0x20b0) at libusb:002:002 ... but "scanimage -L" fails. # scanimage -L No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate).... What's the next step? thanks again, ken -- "This world ain't big enough for the both of us," said the big noema to the little noema.
