Freebsd seems to recognize this scanner at boot: May 17 20:48:36 cronus kernel: pass0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 2 lun 0 May 17 20:48:36 cronus kernel: pass0: Fixed Processor SCSI-2 device May 17 20:48:36 cronus kernel: pass0: 3.300MB/s transfers Would you know of any software (preferably under gnome/X that I can use to operate this scanner)? - Secondly, I've also got a NEC IDE DVD-RW drive hooked up which the system recognizes fine. What software can I use to burn DVDs? All I'm looking for is some software (preferably also under X/gnome) that would allow me to make backup DVD's of files I have on the drive (i.e. Data DVDs). - Finally, I've just installed gnome and when it starts up, I get the following error: No volume control elements and/or devices found. The A8V Motherboard on which the system is installed has an inbuilt 8.0 sound card. Is there any way I can test this is working under Freebsd. Provided this is the case, how can I eliminate the error in gnome? Thanks for all your help. Joe
