[PLUG] USB Port/XSane

[Rich Shepard]

   The flatbed scanner is plugged into a 4-port USB adapter that is connected
to a USB port on the rear of the system. The speakers are also plugged into
the 4-port adapter.

   The speakers work just fine. Xsane no longer finds the flatbed scanner
when plugged into any of the three available ports in the adapter. But,
plugging the scanner into a USB port on the front of the system, xsane
immediately finds it and opens without asking me which of the two entries
for the same scanner to use.

   Any thoughts on what might be happening here?

Puzzled,

Rich
