I have installed both gphoto2 and xsane, but neither one detects the 
camera.  (The camera IS on the list of EXPERIMENTAL cameras supported by 
gphoto2.)  After installing xsane I did a 'modprobe scanner', but that 
did not solve the problem for either program.  Is there some other 
module that should be loaded, or another package that is not listed in 
the dependancies that I need?
