I dunno how it relates to scsi scanners, but I know it is used for
video devices. specificaly you mknod video0 c 81 0. Then you alias it in
your /etc/conf.modules.
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
Who knows, I didnt see it anywhere else.... seems to be a video device
type thing. The only thing that mentioned that device were:
Documentation/video4linux/bttv/Modules.conf
Documentation/video4linux/CQcam.txt
Documentation/video4linux/README.cpia
At least in the 2.4 kernel tree.
Sane or whatever you're using doesnt think you're trying to use a parallel
port scanner does it?
