I have been recently trying to use xsane to access my HP scanjet 4C.
I'm running Red Hat 7.1  SCSI system that I had to add a SCSI adapter
board to attach my scanner to.  dmesg records this data regarding my
SCSI devices:

Upon executing the command xsane in the terminal, I get this message:

xsane: no devices available

What can I do to get my SCSI card and scanner recognized??

Thanks.
