Hi,
When you have read all this documents, why havent't you contacted the
Avision backend author (me) or choosed a subject for your mail which
I cany easily pick up ("gamma table values" -> "avision backend does
not work properly"). I do not have the time to read any mail on the
internet and also not to read all from this list ...

XSane will not be different when the low-level communication is not
working reliable.
Can you run these commands (in the same terminal on your desktop) and
mail me the output? Please power-cycle the scanner so that it is in a
clean state!
export SANE_DEBUG_AVISION=3D7
scanimage -L
scanimage -l 5mm -t 5mm -x 15mm -y 15mm > scanner-name.png
Those commands are also listed on my SANE/Avision homepage ...

As written above when the driver does not work reliably a different
GUI application will not make any difference ... And I hope all your
re-/installation you wrote in the other mails did not made too much
harm to your system ...

Replacing the icon? Sure it is possible. Simply right-click and select
properties and change the command to xsane ... (if I guess correct -
do not have SuSE anywhere ...)
