https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299809 Summary: Fingerprint Sensor (AuthenTec) get detect as Scanner (create_hal_global_fdi_for_scanners parses unsupported.desc file) Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: jsmeix@novell.com ReportedBy: dgollub@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- On initial login in KDE the suseplugger popup and detects the Fingerprint Sensor as "Scanner" - and ask if the YaST scanner module should be started. The root of this problem is in /usr/share/sane/create_hal_global_fdi_for_scanners which got executed on post install of the sane-backends package. ( Output got piped into /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/70-scanner.fdi ) DESCRIPTION_FILES="/usr/share/sane/descriptions/*.desc" contains also the file /usr/share/sane/descriptions/unsupported.desc The AutehnTec Fingerprint sensor (:usbid "0x08ff" "0x2580") is listed in this file as well. I guess this file should be excluded from the create_hal_global_fdi_for_scanners script. Otherwise the capability property "scanner" would get part of the 70-scanner.fdi file. And HAL would merge this capability into this not as scanner intended device. And suseplugger wouldn't get called... (removing the unsupported.desc and executing the script again - definitely solved the problem.)
