Well, Mental: The update from here is that I've found that SANE works
fine if I avoid using the preview function. Therefore I think that
XSANE somehow wants to use that video driver thing for it's preview.
Sounds a bit wierd to me, but I'm going to try setting up the
char-major-81 thing and see what happens.
I'm starting to learn how to look for info here. Did you use grep to
find the docs in the 2.4 kernel tree?
