To anyone who has a brother ds 740 scanner, I reinstalled salix 15 full install, installed rpm2tgz, converted brscan5.rpm, installed simple-scan,
Installed Avahi daemon, made sure user is in scanner group. Scanner now works as regular user & root user. no need to add entry to 80-libsane.rules

OK
.

Something I did wrong.

Hi,
I don't see rpm2txz installed, I need that to install my brother ds 740 usb scanner, rpm2tgz desn't seem to work.
The scanner worked in slackware 15 rc2, but only as root.

Any suggestions.

Sorry for long hiatus, I completed your instructions and am posting the new Xorg.0.log from 14.1 live
I don't want to give up yet.

Thanks.

Slow Progress.

I copied xorg-intel.conf from usb stick to X11 file on live cd, but cannot change ownership using your instructions. I used copy command not mv.and removed the xorg.conf-vesa.

I am the owner of the new xorg-intel file, why root:root ?
Do I need both xorg.vesa and xorg-intel files ...

Thank you for your patience & guidance, this project will take a few days to complete.


thanks again.

Hello sorry to bother you again, but as per your request my monitors native resolution is: 1366x768
After much trial & error here is the xorg.log from the 14.1 live cd.

I'm sorry for being annoying, native resolution in 14.0 = 1366 x 768 using vesa. in 14.1 it is 1280 x 1024 using intel ?? I guess I should be satisfied with that. I thought 14.1 would self-configure to 1366 x 768 without any work. I ordered a graphics card but would have liked to fix the problem ...

I followed your instructions and was able to copy the Xorg.0.log file from my 14.0 install to flash drive via the command line succesfully. But how do I find the Xorg.log of the 14.1 live cd ? Live cd will be sr0 ?
