I neglected to add my libusb-0.1.12 information to the previous long
configuration description, which apparently directly affects the udev
device node mapping, permissions, etc.
I also found this forum comment:
"What *should* happen is that the udev rules in
/etc/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules get run, making a scanner-<whatever>
symlink to /dev/bus/usb/XXX. This device is then chown'ed via pam_console,
later by udev."
Since I can't find a '60-libsane.rules' file anywhere, I'm not sure what
the next step would be. Is this file normally installed by sane-backends?
Thanks.
# emerge libusb sane-backends sane-frontends -pv
