I was a happy sane-user, and could use it to make scans with my epson

scanner. There might be a trick around it, but I'm happy with the old
xsane-0.995-79, and I rather continue working with the old rpm than
finding a new trick to obtain the same result.

Did you configure the scanner in YaST after you installed 11.1?

YaST -> Hardware -> Scanner

My guess is that this is not a SANE problem but your scanner is not
configured.

Good luck,
Robert

My own stupid error: scanner was not properly connected. Did so, and also the
latest version of xsane works fine with the epson 2580.
Sorry for the fuss!
