Problems with Epson V700 on Slackware 11

I'm trying to get an Epson V700 scanner working on Slackware
11.

I am running 2.6.18.1 kernel compiled myself which I need to
support
the JMicron IDE on my motherboard, I also have a couple of
custom
modules.

Slackware 11 comes with Sane version 1.0.18, "scanimage
-V" reports:-
    scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.18; backend version
1.0.205


Running "sane-find-scanner" finds the scanner OK:-
    found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x012c
[EPSON
    Scanner]) at libusb:7:2

However "scanimage -L" resolutely refuses to see
any scanners at all.

I have added the following line to /etc/scan.d/epson.conf:-
    usb 0x4b8 0x12c
and I've commented out everything else in there.  Is this
actually
necessary?


Strangely enough xscan does think I've got a scanner, it
reports
correctly that I have an HP 7310 All-in-one and,
incorrectly, that I
have an Epson GT900 (or something like that).


I'm pretty sure I have permissions set up OK, all of the
above have
been run as an ordinary user rather than root but I have
also tried as
root and results are the same.

If you use sane-backends-1.0.18, then yes.
If you use the latest CVS, then no.

The Perfection V700 "thinks" it's a GT-X900.
# It's marketed as a GT-X900 in Japan.

Hope this helps,
