Hi folks, I have a Colorpage Vivid Pro II Film scanner and I saw on the SANE project's website that it is fully supported and that it is stable. It is reported as OP9636T/12000T, and supported by the plustek backened. It is a parallel port scanner. So I instaleld /usr/ports/graphics/xsane and that's all. Everything worked well, but I am a little confused. On the plustek site they say that for parallel port scanners there is need for downloading a kernel module. As far as I can see, that is a Linux kernel module. I would like to know if installing xsane from ports (which installs it's dependencies) also installs a port of that kernel module. Or is there a port for the kernel module? What should I do? Or don't I need to install a kernel module (there is no /dev/pt_drv in my /dev). Of course I tried to rebooting hoping it will load something magically, but that never works. The configuration file is present.
