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.

Hi
I would check for your device numbers in the *sane*
files in /etc/udev/rules.d sounds like a conflict for the usb device.
Running udevadm monitor and/or lsusb -vv from the command line should
help identify.

Have you tried unplugging the mouse and re-plugging?
