I'll post it back to the list. I've checked the diffs between 1.0.11 and
1.0.14 and I can't figure out where this "option" problem is located.
I'm pretty sure, that the changes are not responsible for that. As you also
stated, scanimage does work and so I suspect some trouble with xsane.
Also the point, that the following appears is somewhat suspicous:
> [coolscan] attach_scanner: open failed
But as I do not have such a scanner, I'm somewhat at a loss.
Sorry,
Gerhard
