I have a (old) HP6300C USB scanner, that used to work with a
usbscanner
(or was that hpscanner?) kernel module. That kernel module is gone, now
xsane and kooka only can use it via libusb. The problem is this only
seems to work when i am root. Is there a way to let normal users use the
scanner?
This should be fixed in FC5 - I tested it with a USB scanner shortly
before release.
What *should* happen is that the udev rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules
get run, making a scanner-<whatever> symlink to /dev/bus/usb/XXX. This
device is then chown'ed via pam_console, later by udev.
