I entered xsane and pressed enter then I clicked the agreement for accept. It didn't detect my scanner.
My crystal ball has actually a blind point where your scanner hardware should appear.
Surely, you jest! ;-)
That brings up a question about devices, though.
My scanner is a Umax 1200S SCSI machine that appears at /dev/sg0. This device comes equipped with permissions set to (I believe) 644 following a boot. This means that I must either don my root cape or change the permissions to 666 to use xsane. I would really like to know the *proper* way to set the permissions for that device. I stuck a line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local that reads "chmod 666 /dev/sg* &" but I would bet there's a correct way to do it.
