Does anybody else have this problem? My X server can't do anything
but 8 bpp and it works fine here. What X server and what GTK version
are you using? Could you run xscan from within gdb and send me the
stack trace and program output you get when it crashes? I'd recommend
to build SANE like this for easy debugging:

$ make distclean
$ CFLAGS="-g -O -Wall" ./configure --disable-shared
$ make

then, to get the stack trace, do:

$ cd frontend
$ gdb xscan
gdb> run --sync
[...program should segfault...]
gdb> bt
[...here comes the backtrace i'm interested in...]

This works fine here (w/Red Hat 4.1 and Linux kernel v2.0.27. It
looks as if the kernel header files on your system are messed up (it
must be possible to include <asm/io.h> by itself). What kernel
version are you using? You might want to report this to the x86
kernel hackers.

Mathias> Enough from my neverending-scanning story.

It would be faster to debug if I had access to a machine with a 3-pass
scanner. If you want/can give me access to your scanner, I'd be happy
to look into it.
