-> Hi all,
-> 
-> Much of my frustration has been relieved.  My new
-> scanner/Adaptec-card/SANE/X Scanimage work beautifully.  In 
-> root.  Which
-> files do I chmod or chown to permit myself as user to access my
-> scanner?  
-> 
-> This is just the sort of problem that bites a Win95 refugee 
-> in the ass. 
-> All my other graphics applications work as advertised.  That 
-> is to say
-> if I point and click K-> Graphics-> Cameleo, DVI Viewer, Fax Viewer,
-> Fractals Generator, Gimp, Icon Editor, Image Viewer, KIllustrator,
-> Paint, PS Viewer, SnapShot, TGif, Xfig, or xv, these 
-> applications boot
-> up and I can use them. 
-> 
-> Not X Scanimage. It works only if I log in as root and 
-> pointy/clicky. 
-> It does not work if I su to root and use the command xscanimage in a
-> terminal.
-> 
-> I think I am close to an answer, but like Tantalus, the grapes are
-> always just out of reach, and the water just below my lips. 
-> Unsatisfying.
