Inspired by the find-scanner tool, and in particular the success of the
"Try running this as root" message, I have developed the attached patch
to make find-scanner tell newbies about SCSI generic. At the very least
it simplifies trouble shooting, reducing the number of FAQs on this list.
NB - A particular feature of the design of this patch is the order. By
making the test for SCSI generic immediately after we've scanned the
appropriate SCSI devices, we can be sure that drivers, loadable modules,
etc. will still be in memory. If find-scanner knows how to look for
tell-tale signs of sg drivers for your OS, and it doesn't see them, it
will print...
# If your scanner uses SCSI, you must have a driver for your SCSI
# adaptor and support for SCSI Generic (sg) in your Operating System
# in order for the scanner to be used with SANE. If your scanner is
# NOT listed above, check that you have installed the drivers.
comments?
Nick.
