I can confirm it now works with my Genius ColorPage Vivid 3XE (USB) using libusb 0.1.6 and sane-backends 1.0.12 (on Redhat 9, hand-rolled RPM, current RH errata kernel) (This is the first time I've actually got this scanner working under Linux - the Windows scanning app supplied is horrible, sane/xsane are streets ahead.
