As xsane worked fine as root, i went to the root
directory and found the two config files
Noname:Philips675webcam.drc (for my webcam)
and Plustek:9636T_12000T.drc (for my scanner)
i copied them to my /home/.sane/xsane directory
and changed the owner name.
then,
Well, what a strange thing ! with
mknod --mode=0666 /dev/parport0 c 99 0
i got "file already exists"
and i saw the symlink (i did not see it before
!!)/dev/parport0 ---> /dev/parports/0
and
ls -l /dev/parports/0 ............. crw-rw-rw-
1 root root 99, 0 jan 1 1970 0
so, when i start xsane, it works fine, now !
But.. i don't quite understand all the stuff !
Thank you very much for your help !
Sincerely
