[sane-devel] CVSfFiles sanei_load_values.c and sanei_save_values.c

2002-01-14 Thread Henning Meier-Geinitz
Hi, Are the files sanei/sanei_load_values.c and sanei/sanei_save_values.c needed by anyone? I think they are used by the frontends xscanimage/xcam but these are now in sane-frontends and have their own copy. As far as I can see from a fast grep, they aren't used anywhere. Can/should I remove thes

I have read and read and read. But I'm a newbie, and apologize in advance for any inconvience this mail may cause. . . Everything built and installed nicely--I'm using the ppscsi and onscsi modules to talk to the scanner, and when the modules load the scanner, albeit under a different name, appea

Oliver, fair enough I wasn't aware the conversation had already taken place, although I suppose I should have guessed. However one comment you made worried me...compilation taking minutes or seconds? Mine ran for hours literaly 2-3 hours! I have a Pentium III with 288MB.

Hi, isn't this idea a bit obsolete with devfs, where the only authoritative identification is a device filename (and major/minor numbers may be (in future) changed dynamically) ? Well this was non-constructive, but afaik for now, the historical majors are used. mates -- Martin Jelínek , http:/

You can get the major and minor device numbers from the device file. The major device number will tell you if it's a SCSI or an USB device. Karl Heinz Major A said: > > > Hi, > > I need some help from SANE developers: > > Given a device file, how can I determine whether that is a generic >

Hi, I need some help from SANE developers: Given a device file, how can I determine whether that is a generic SCSI or a USB scanner device? It seems that when I try to open a USB device file as a SCSI device and probe with INQUIRY, a USB timeout will occur. I don't think using a generic SCSI dev
