Also not, perhaps, a 64-bit problem, but can someone please confirm that |
| 2 |
they can plug a USB scanner in and have it work? I have an Epson Perfection |
| 3 |
640U which works under M$ but not Gentoo. |

I'm trying to follow gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_USB_Scanner, although |
| 6 |
it's not easy with so many variations being covered in the one document. I |
| 7 |
get as far as: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
# sane-find-scanner -q |
| 10 |
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x010c [Perfection640 ]) |
| 11 |
at libusb:002:007 |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
...but: |
| 14 |
# scanimage -L |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
No scanners were identified. [...] |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I can locate the /dev/usbdev* devices that are created when I plug the |
| 19 |
scanner in; changing their ownership to root:scanner has no effect on |
| 20 |
scanimage. I am in the scanner group, but running as root makes no |
| 21 |
difference anyway. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Udev is at version 106, kernel 2.6.20, hotplug is started in the default |
| 24 |
run-level (though it seems to make no difference); what else can I say? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Do I have to write a udev rule? /lib64/modules/2.6.20-gentoo/modules.usbmap |
| 27 |
contains nothing pertaining to my scanner, or is this a red herring? |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug contains a single blank line. Another red herring? |
