Hi all

I still try to install and run my scanner (Agfa Snapscan e50). And still
xsane (and scanimage -L and some others) causes an memory access error.
sane-find-scanner finds and shows my scanner.
'cat /proc/bus/usb/devices' too finds and shows my scanner but the line
'I' says ... Driver=(none), see the following output

T:  Bus=03 Lev=02 Prnt=06 Port=01 Cnt=02 Dev#= 11 Spd=12  MxCh= 0

If I compare the 'scanner output' to the output for my printer
(Driver=usblp) and my mouse (Driver=usbhid), I get the suspicion that
the module 'usbscanner' is missing. But I do not know if such a module
exists in reality (and not only in my mind). If yes, is hotplug
responsible to load this module or do I have to load this module by
hand?

lsmod shows both modules 'usblp' and 'usbhid' but cannot find the module
'usbscanner' (Printer, Mouse and Scanner are plugged in/power on).
Therefore my suspicion 'usbscanner' dosen't exist or hotplug dosen't its
job.

btw: Does capitalisation in snapscan.conf matter? I found a hint in the
internet that one should use only small letters.

Any help will be appreciated.

Kind regards, Roland
