I've read all I can find, including searching in the archives, and am still stuck.
I have dloaded Wine, and clicked on the icon of the RPM file to install, and Wine still won't work. It only gives me an "open with" box when I try to access Notebook.exe.
I've never had good luck with Wine; sorry. If there are Win programs you really need to use in linux, "Win4Lin" is very good and not too expensive: http://www.netraverse.com
My DC120 camera is found with no problem when booting into "root" but not found in user boot into KDE. The "Digital Camera Tool" won't "add" it, and I don't know what port to list. It is a serial port, and there are COM1 & COM2 on my motherboard.
I've only used USB cameras with linux, but this sounds like a permissions problem.
I have a Visioneer OneTouch 6600 USB scanner. It is found in my USB components, but won't work or configure.
Bad news, I'm afraid. My mum has one of these, and we could never even get it to work in Win2k, let alone linux. The sane project reports all Visioneer models as "unspported:"

Maybe donate the Visioneer to a local charity and pick up an Epson scanner instead. Epson actually collaborates with the sane project to develop linux drivers for their scanners. You can't beat that!
