[sane-devel] CanoScan LiDE20 finally working

[Fibonacci Prower]

Hello,

I've finally managed to make my CanoScan LiDE20 USB work under Linux,
using sane-backends version 1.0.16 - the last version made it jam. I
think the changes done between versions 16 and 17 to whatever backend
it is that controls CanoScan devices should be reverted.
However, I can only use the scanner as root, and the directions at
http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux do not help at all, since I
don't have and cannot install hotplug, and backends 1.0.16 come
without any udev rules file. If only the last version didn't jam this
scanner, life would be much easier.

Peace,

-Fibo
