Hi guys,
well first of all - are you on the Plustek list?
If so, there's no need to cc the mails to each other, except
you prefer to get the same mail twice - let me know!

I think this all can be done in the code, where the register 0x29
is set or in the lamp functions. It should be easy to extend the
code that way...
What I can't understand is, that the images are completely black.
Maybe there's something out of sync...
Back to the misc I/O 5.
If you have a closer look to the doc, you can see, that this
register defaults to an output - great. By using this output
to toggle the lamp, you should write an 0x19 to turn the lamp
on and a 0x11 to switch the lamp of...
To write an 0x9b makes no sense, as the bits 1 and 2 have
no influence on the register if configured as output. The 9
should also not affect the light - except it also has something
to do with that...
Anyway good luck in finding the trick....
Gerhard
BTW: Reinhard, what's your job at SuSE?
