GS4500 scanner driver version 2.0 released
==========================================

What is it ?
- ------------

It's a device driver (loadable module) for the Genius handheld
scanners GS4500 and GS4500A (and probably the GS4000).

What's new ?
- ------------

Version 2.0 includes a much improved support for the GS4500A.
(Thanks to Pedro Maia Alves.)

It also includes serious bug fixes. So everybody with a 2.0.x
kernel should update. (If you still run a 1.2.x kernel stay with
version 1.4 !)

Also included is a modified version of xscan. Like the name suggests
it lets you scan under X11 with your GS4500.

A small documentation on the hardware is also included (HTML).

Where can I get it ?
- --------------------

I uploaded it to sunsite.unc.edu and tsx-11.mit.edu. It should
be in the appropriate directory in a few days.

You can also get it from my homepage

1. New scanner driver for the GS4500

I've just uploaded my new version 1.2 of the driver for the GS4500
scanner to

tsx-11.mit.edu: /incoming
ftp.Germany.EU.net: /pub/os/linux/Incoming.EUnet

It is based on the GS4500 driver 1.0 by Richard Lyons

 *      Changes:
 *      - added automatic detection what io adresses and
 *        dma channel is set on the interface board
 *      - fixed a bug with dma channel selection
 *      - scanner dosn't flash when driver loads
 *      - changed device major to 26 like the other handheld
 *        scanner drivers use (avoids conflict with ibcs and
 *        sound driver)
 *      - added fsync to file_operations table (= NULL)
 *      - adapted scandemo from logitech driver for gs4500
 *      - added the option to create a loadable kernel module
 *      - changed buffer allocation to make
 *        loadable module work
 *      - changed ioctls to be compatible with M105, AC4096 and
 *        Logitech driver
 *      - small changes here and there...
 *
 *      Supported Scanner:
 *      - Genius GeniScan GS4500
 *      ? Genius GeniScan GS4000 (DOS drivers for the GS4000 work
 *        with my GS4500 so I'd assume this driver works with a
 *        GS4000)
 *      ? Genius GeniScan GS4500A (again, just a guess)
