Hello all! I installed xsane-0.878 from woody, Hardware is G4, scanner UMAX 2100U. I'm running kernel 2.4.14-ben0, which shows this type of scanner in /usb/scanner.h . It seems to be recognized during boot-time as I can find the scanner-device-id of my printer with dmesg head. I read about people who got with slight adaptation of UMAX 1220U driver (written originally by Paul Mackerras) to go to work with UMAX 2000U, for instance.
So I haven't installed that 1220u driver in the moment. When I try to evoke xsane it quits immediately after accepting the licence with: Direct Memory Access Error (originally "Speicherzugriffsfehler") So my questions are: Where does that error come from, or why does it happen? Does xsane work on PPC with USB-scanners in general. If so, and my scanner-hardware is the problem, can anybody share his experiences regarding another type of scanner (a few Epson-USB-types seem to work perfect in general - do they work the same way with PPC) for not to buy the second wrong scanner-type (The old one was from my former MacOS-times, so it hurts a little less ;-)). Thanks for any help and reply -- M.f.G. Georg Koss mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
