I couldn't reproduce this "only the second try works" effect with Mustek scanners. Without the patch, only mustek in dll.conf, and no /dev/scanner the scanner is not detected (even if I run scanimage multiple times). With the patch detection works immediately after loading the modules. I can't imagine what's wron in your situation. Bye, Henning
