Not at this late date as I have now installed a wheezy derivative in 
amd64 flavor from the linuxcnc.org site. And that old epson scanner has 
been retired & recycled to boot, so I am down to one scanner, and I can 
see it and use it as user #1. Root can see it, but can't use it because 
root cannot open a window on my 0:0 display.  That is a PIMA but thats 
how it works these days, so I have to use something like nano to edit 
root's crap.

Sorry I can't help at this time.
