Hi Piet,
The scsi pass thru on FreeBSD is strange :(
Do a man on :
pass
camcontrol
ls -ald /dev/xpt0 /dev/pass1
crw------- 1 hasty operator 104, 0 Nov 22 23:38 /dev/xpt0
crw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 31, 3 Apr 19 11:20 /dev/pass1
pass1 is my umax scanner -- the minor device in /dev/pass1 denotes the
pass device printed with dmes:
{hasty} dmesg | grep pass
pass3 at ahc1 bus 0 target 5 lun 0
pass3: <UMAX UMAX S-12 V2.0> Fixed Scanner SCSI-2 device
pass3: 3.300MB/s transfers
cd /usr/local/etc/sane.d
{hasty} ls
abaton.conf dc210.conf hp.conf ricoh.conf tamarack.conf
agfafocus.conf dc25.conf microtek.conf s9036.conf umax.conf
apple.conf dll.conf microtek2.conf saned.conf
artec.conf dmc.conf mustek.conf sharp.conf
coolscan.conf epson.conf net.conf snapscan.conf
{hasty} cat umax.conf
/dev/pass1
Make doubly sure that your *.conf entry where is required does point to
a string /dev/pass[0-9] otherwise the user cam interface will fail
to talk to your scsi device --- for instance if I change umax.conf
to point to /dev/scanner which is a symlink -- the scsi interface
library will fail.
Don't forget to create the /dev/xpt0 device or again the cam (scsi)
interface library will fail to access your scsi device.
That should do it. I found all this out by doing a ktrace on "sane"
and examining the devices which it opened :(
----
xscanimage umax
works like a charm over here.
any attempt to access /dev/scanner will fail not due to sane but
to the funky cam interface
The sane documentation installed is a generic one for all OSes
including FreeBSD.
Amancio
