Please confirm that this bug occurs under this circumstances. The issue can not be solved entirely without specs from the vendor of the fingerprint reader device. The vendor has refused to assist so far. I've had a workaround added to ThinkFinger (now superseded by fprint/pam_fp) which I'll try to re-introduce when I get back from my vacation (12 January 2009). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please help to investigate under what conditions the heating occurs. That will speed up my work on a fix. Can you please elaborate what you mean by "gets hot even with fingerprint login disabled"? Please skip the next question if that is what you've done before :-) Can you please disable the fingerprint reader support using YaST (leaving pam_fp, libfprint installed)?

I had too much to do yesterday evening. I can confirm that the fingerprint-reader get's hot (put finger on it 2 minutes afterwards) when logging in with password instead of finger. Swiping the finger over the Sensor makes him cool again.

However, I have to rely on your testing as my hardware doesn't show this bug. I'll post some packages this afternoon which I'd like you to test. Hu: I've been investigating this with an AES2501 fingerprint reader but can't get it hot either. Can you please test the following: * boot your system * login using your password * wait some time * check temperature Important: Do not start X. Just use the console. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Actually it was just a shot in the dark from my side to see if X is causing problems.
