There's also a TV Card on my computer (Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture), which I don't use. When I start xsane, as regular user, it only allows me the choice of the Bt878 device, and not the HP ScanJet. However, when using it as root, it gives me the option to choose which device -- at which point I choose the HP ScanJet, and everything works fine. I wish, though, to use it as my regular user, and not be bothered having to use it as root (being forced to change the owner and properties of the subsequently created image files, etc.) Any tips for how I can do this? > look at the /dev file for the scanner and make sure you are in its group.
