--- Comment #28 from G J
kdesu also seems to have a severe problem with the fingerprint reader. Kdesu can't be used at all when the FP-reader is active, it just freezes. More importantly, the FP-reader is heats up considerably until kdesu is killed! It almost burns my palm.
So there might be hardware damage to be expected, in the FP-reader as well as the user ;)
Wow, this is a major oversight. Thanks for pointing it out - I may have damaged my FP-reader while experimenting. I think I'll just leave it disabled for now until things improve. With FP-readers becoming more common on laptops, I would think this bug would be given a high priority. Is there some technical reason why it's taking so long to get FP-readers working properly or is it a case of not enough resources and not enough priority given to the problem? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
