     Hello,

     thanks to an hardware donation from Brian Paavo, I have been able 
to add support for the Canonscan LiDE 700F to the genesys backend. It 
works from 75 do 2400 dpi. 4800 dpi will be added later. I also plan to 
improve the 'move to target' speed a high resolution for all gl847 based 
scanners.
      In case of bug, run your frontend with the following environment 
variable set and redirect standard error output to a file so that I have 
clue of what maybe going wrong:
export SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS=255
export SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS_LOW=255
export SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS_GL847=255

For instance with xsane, you'd run:
xsane 2>debug.log

or with skanlite:
skanlite 2>debug.log

Regards,
     Stef
