I think i may sound stupid, but where can i find that 5.0 faq ? The FreeBSD homepage only links to a 4.x faq, and a google search for "faq 5.0 freebsd" obviously yields way too many results ;-) > Also USB is somewhat buggy and if the hadware maker chooses to release no > information about it's device to be able to write free drivers for it, then > no one can. MS always gets the details to write the driver. Well, actually the ScanJet 4100C is listed to be supported by uscanner(4). There also exists a SANE backend for it, so i expected to get it to work with kde and kooka and give my father a nice-to-use frontend. Now, when there is a FreeBSD driver for this specific device, someone MUST have been able to get it to work in the past, right ? I'll post this answer to freebsd-questions, but i'll only BCC you because i think you might have wanted to protect your email address from spammers. - -Robert - -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety won't have, nor do they deserve, either one." -Benjamin Franklin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEUEARECAAYFAj5opEcACgkQbQeoBktF+reNSQCYib5Dc9JiaoqPZURq/6ohRIWX xwCfc3pINOZK3veJ1128RxFbSdu4Xs8= =XYoX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
