I'm using a LiDE 30 with breezy and quiteinsane.  Quiteinsane comes up
and presents three options, the Lide 30, my pcHDTV card and the
previous setting.  Choosing either the scanner or previous selection
works fine, no problems up to 600 dpi (the most I have tried), except
for the time when I had it plugged into a USB hub which didn't supply
power to the scanner (I almost trashed the scanner until I thought of
trying a direct connection to one of the USB ports on the computer
itself).
