plustek: Thread: kernel-2.4.17 Re: Plustek USB driver - build 13 (aka LM983x driver)

All,

I can happily confirm this to be the case for the UT12 under kernel
2.4.17, as I've scanned my first document in successfully, without a
complete system hang with "Invalid Operand: 0000" happening.

Expect an email from me tomorrow morning to the list with more detailed
results, and location of RPM's of sane-backends including 0_40_13
plustek USB code :-)

In the meantime, is there any set of tests in particular I should be
doing to verify image quality/coloration/etc. is working okay?

Yours,

Kev.

I'm off out to a gig now, so expect another email tomorrow morning

All,

RPM's of sane-backends-devel-1.0.6 / sane-backends-1.0.6, incorporating
the 0_40_13 build USB drivers can be downloaded from
http://kyrian.ore.org/RPMS/

My testing so far confirms that scanning (on a UT12, under kernel
2.4.17) works, repeatedly, without crashing the system, or locking it
up, or requiring a reboot mysteriously afterwards.

I've found a little level of (black) "noise" on scanning in black and
white images, but not had time to experiment with the driver settings to
see if I can tune this out.

Also, the default SANE settings seem to be a bit dark, and possibly low
contrast, but certainly the XSane brightness control impacts the
brightness of the resulting image, which is ok :-)

More test results when I've done them.

Oh, and by the way, Merry Christmas all. Stay safe and rootkit-free.

Kev,

thank you for the work - may I put a link to the RPMs?

Gerhard,

You certainly can :-)

Merry Christmas all (a little late, but what the hell!).
