Hi Gerhard,

sorry, that my response is delayed ... but I'm weekdays abroad (with
Internet-access, but without Scanner ;-)

the scanner module for my EPSON Perfection 1260 on my SuSE 8.1-system,
still doesn't load automatically at boot-time. 

Hotplugging is activated! I tried the following things (besides the
existing entry in /etc/modules.conf):
- made the entry in /etc/hotplug/usb.distmap
scanner	0x0003	0x04b8	0x011d	0x0000	0x0000	0x00	0x00	0x00	\
0x00	0x00	0x00 0x00000000
- made the entry in /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap

but in /var/log/messages there it still keeps on saying "kusterdingen01
kernel: usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x4b8/0x11d) is not claimed by
any active driver." at boot-time :-<<

I even tried make the entry in /lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB but this caused
an error at boot-time when loading the modules and was corrected by the
system itself!

If I do a insmod scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x011d or a modprobe
scanner, all works perfectly - but it should be automatically ...

What do I else have to do? Lost .-<<
Christoph.
