Hi

I've tried to search for an answer to this, so if this has been asked before, my apologies.

I have an Epson Perfection 4490 connected via USB. Under Ubuntu's device manager, it can be detected, but xsane / sane lock up when I try to run them.

I'm assuming that there should be an entry for this in xorg.conf, but there's nothing. Any ideas? I'm pretty sure that all the other USB devices were detected during some config phase, but the scanner wasn't attached then and I've forgotten what I did then :confused:

Thanks

trying to run lsusb - just hangs the terminal window. Other USB devices are fine - iPod, external HDD, flash drive, etc....
