scanner problems....

[gmoreno]

I was getting my scanner to work again... and I was writting a pet for setting up a scanner. But for some odd reason when I run xsane. The scanner scans for about 1/2 inch then xsane segfaults... Anyone got a clue why xsane might segfault?

BTW a while back it was perfectly...

hey gmoreno,
id ya upgrade it recently? what is occuring when you it segfaults?

[gmoreno]

[pbharris]

opps! sorry gmoreno, i read that....

what resolution are you scanning at? if pretty high try reducing t.

[gmoreno]

I tried that already and that didn't seem to change anything...

I wish but nothing else comes up in console...

[pbharris]

okay - i assume you are starting it up in a terminal...

is there a core dump yopu could look for?

[gmoreno]

I'll check when I get home but I think I will also try a different front end... Maybe
