Hi,
I've got a couple of questions I was hoping someone could help me with:

- I've got an (extremely old) HP Scanjet 4c Scanner hooked up via an Adaptec
SCSI card to my system. Freebsd seems to recognize this scanner at boot: 
May 17 20:48:36 cronus kernel: pass0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 2 lun 0
May 17 20:48:36 cronus kernel: pass0: <HP C2520A 3503> Fixed Processor
SCSI-2 device
May 17 20:48:36 cronus kernel: pass0: 3.300MB/s transfers
Would you know of any software (preferably under gnome/X that I can use to
operate this scanner)?

- Secondly, I've also got a NEC IDE DVD-RW drive hooked up which the system
recognizes fine. What software can I use to burn DVDs? All I'm looking for
is some software (preferably also under X/gnome) that would allow me to make
backup DVD's of files I have on the drive (i.e. Data DVDs).

- Finally, I've just installed gnome and when it starts up, I get the
following error: No volume control elements and/or devices found. The A8V
Motherboard on which the system is installed has an inbuilt 8.0 sound card.
Is there any way I can test this is working under Freebsd. Provided this is
the case, how can I eliminate the error in gnome?

Thanks for all your help.


Joe
