Bug Description
xsane detects tv cards, and uses them as scanners.
While it might be useful in exceptional cases, usually this is confusing.
An example of my setup:
v4l:/dev/video0
plustek:
Proper fix should be:
1 - make xsane remember last scanner used, and get rid of this unintuitive dialog it
pops on startup.
2 - make xsane prefer real scanner. This should be done by adding a settings page, listing all scanners
and allowing to disable any of them, and v4l scanner should really be disabled by default

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release (Hardy Heron)? Thanks in advance.
