It was a kernel problem, I had not thought of that. I went ahead,
grabbed a kernel image from sid, installed it (2.6.11) and all usb
and scanner permissions problems dissapeared. But now there is no
sound, I tried to find any info in kern.log, syslog, but didn't see any
reference to alsa. However, I noticed that a message flashed on the
screen as it booted, something like: alsainit failed, not exactly
sure. No sound, but aumix and gnome mixer show volume to 100%!
I think that a note about this problem with the kernel in sarge must
be posted as installation note, and may be in the website some link to
a newer 2.6.x kernel, because I assume that there will be a bunch of
people with similar problems. (Sarge, kernel people, I hope you read
this)
Thanks, and looking forward to more input to solve the sound issue
(emu10k1).
