Hi Nathan,
no worries, your /var/log/messages looks good the driver is loaded so what!
If you really have unresolved symbols, you're NOT able to load the driver,
but the driver is loaded!!! The only thing is the line
Jan 4 14:14:13 localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-81
module char-major-81
is bttv which is the driver of the video for linux project, this indicates, that
you might have a problem with your
sane.d/dll.conf file (this is in /etc or /usr/etc)
find this file and make sure, that only the plustek backend is enabled.
This means, that in front of each entry is a # except in front of the
plustek entry. If there's no plustek entry, insert one.
Well I'm not sure which SANE-version you're using, but it might happen,that
you encounter a version conflict between the driver and the backend.
Please, if you have the problem, that the driver is loaded but SANE
can't find your device, enable the backend debug-messages to see
what happens there:
in the shell say: export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=12
then call xscanimage or scanimage and the backend will give
you some messages. Send us these messages or have a look at the
FAQ which is attached.
Hope this helps
Gerhard
