Scanning

Eugenia: The idea is that the scanner program would be the epiphany not the galeon of scanning. I'm afraid that the target audience is not photographers and advanced users, at least not at the start anyway.

Andy: I'm also having some trouble with sane:

<code>

[sisob@sisob sisob]$ scanimage
scanimage: open of device gt68xx:/dev/usb/scanner0 failed: Error during device I/O
[sisob@sisob sisob]$ dmesg
[----clip---]
usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 2, frame# 1655
scanner.c: ioctl_scanner: control_msg returned -75
 
usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
scanner.c: ioctl_scanner: control_msg returned -110
 
usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
scanner.c: ioctl_scanner: control_msg returned -110

</code>

The scanner does work on other Linux PCs with the same hardware, and it did work once or twice on this PC, but then it stopped. I've even tried resetting my BIOS, but I still get his. Even with multiple distos the same thing ...

re: Eugenia

Eugenia: Sorry, should have been more clear, the scanning program doesn't exist yet. It just a Ui design. The idea was that it would be a frontend to libsane, so it would have what ever features are avaliable with xsane, but with a much prettier interface. Ross said he was thinking about putting some code behind it.
