Hi Listmenbers,
I compiled sane-1.0.11 from source to solve some problems with the
Linotype SAPHIR4 alias Saphir Ultra II  equal to PL-III.

As reported earlier the preview of xsane(0.90) and the final scan are
very different. This happens to the SU-II as well.
Following a hint to solve this, I tried to update sane as it was expected
to be driver related. Now sane compiles and shows me the scanner but dont
like to support him instantly.
sane-find-scanner: found SCSI scanner "Linotype SAPHIR4 V1.5" at device
/dev/sg1
scanimage -L showed only after some compilations of sane the scanner

The previously used sane-1.0.7 and -1.0.8 from SuSE worked without any
problems. (Would like to know what they did.)

I checked the umax*.* files and it looked to me as all would be proper -
Linotype SAPHIR4 was defined as supported on some lines.

Now as I can use sane-1.0.11 the situation is the same: big color shifts
between preview and final scans. Is it possible to aviod the different
scanmodes of preview and final scanns via an option till it is debuged?

Nevertheless, Thanks for the work.
