[opensuse-factory] fingerprint reader support
Is there a plan to include fingerprint reader support in 10.3? According to Thinkwiki there is a thinkfinger driver and Fedora has a libbiometrics RPM implementing it. -- Carlos FL Who is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

There was already some support in openSUSE 10.2 - check our wiki.

The main fingerprint developers work for us and therefore openSUSE is the first distro to pick it up ;-) Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform/openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

That's great. I will check it out. But we should also add it to ThinkWiki, so the world doesn't get the wrong impression that openSuse is falling behind. Could you ask the developers to add an entry there, please? Thanks. -- Carlos FL Who is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

We are also working on YaST support for the fingerprint reader of the ThinkPad laptops.

You can also specifically get more information on what Timo and Pavel (the openSUSE guys) are doing/working on from checking out the talk that they did at FOSDEM. See <http://en.opensuse.org/FOSDEM2007> for the slides and videos.
