> Hi Angelo,
> I started at http://www.mostang.com/sane/ and downloaded the G68xx and got the firmware from my win CD and then I tried about three times and got it going with libusb and libieee under SuSE 8.1 I do not know if this will help you with Xandros ... best of luck.
> I followed this sequence;
> remove sane first and all frontends (xsane, kooka and scanimage)
> install sane and libusb and libieee ( if I remeber rightly ....)
> then copied the attachment (gt680xfw.usb) into my linux box
> and then tried the frontends.
> The best one was xsane ....
> follow the instructions EXACTLY as given under man gt68xx-sane ...
> most important get the gt68xx uncommented in dll.conf
> type

> firmware "/usr/X11R6/lib/sane/gt68xxgt/gt680xfw.usb"
> override "artec-ultima-2000"

> Have fun and I hope it works for you....
