Scanner difficulty and a work around



I have a Canon Lide 30 scanner (USB connection) that has worked well for years with all versions of openSUSE. It continues to do so provided I boot up with it fully connected.

If my machine is running and I attach it, then use Yast in a GUI to connect it up, it will quit responding to the USB mouse. The only thing I can do to recover is a hard reboot by switching power off, a rather drastic fix and then it works well. I have not tried it with Yast in CLI.

This is with 12.1 and Kde3.
