John and Shea,
I want to thank you both. I just scanned an image. I works fine now. After I campiled the new sane sources with the snapscan pathches, I reinstalled the rpms for sane(for some path problem) and xsane. Then recomplied the sane-frontend. It works like a champ.
Thanks for the help. I am sure I will get positive remarks at the Linux Expo. This is at the University of Missouri. With triple heads and a flat bed scanner, it makes a impresive looking desktop publishing machine.
Thanks again.
Steve Cooper

Something to do whith where it looks for list of available devices. Also check permissions. Were you running Xsane as root?
