Don't think there is a .conf for that though. Nope. :( Has > one of those been written yet? There is a v4l2 backend, but it's not included in sane-backends. And I don't think that it's the same v4l v2 that recently got added to the Linux kernel.

That seems like a worthwhile file move to me... Its a > pretty extensive listing of scanners vs vendor/prod numbers. I know, it's written by me (partly) :-) The idea of sane-find-scanner is to detect every scanner, even new ones. scanner.h can only list old ones and doesn't even completely fulfil this task. > One is a Logitek ClickSmart 310 usb camera, which I keep hopeing > someone will do a driver for, its some sort of an elcheepo spc > chipset, and there is a Radio Shack sourced PL-2303 usb-seriel > convertor, whose driver they say is solid, but which I'm having > serious flow control and or parity problems with, not sure which. > And attempted sz to an automatic but slower rz target dumps the first > kilobyte and dies trying to correct errors.
