Hi, My laptop has a fingerprint reader, and I would like to use it. It's this one : Bus 001 Device 004: ID 138a:0007 Validity Sensors, Inc. VFS451 Fingerprint Reader I tried on previous OS versions, but then the device was not supported, although I did find this : http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fprint/2014-December/000658.html, which says it was supported. I was hoping Leap would support it now. I also remember that yast had a module to configure the reader but I don't find it in Leap (and neither do I in OS 13.2). So, anyone can comment on this ? Thanks, Koenraad. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I don't know anything about configuring fingerprint readers. But I believe I read somewhere on the opensuse site (can't remember where) that a number of Yast modules were being deprecated (or permanently removed). This list included the module for configuring fingerprint readers. I believe the list was for 13.2 or Leap, not exactly sure which of the two. Maybe it was the release notes or the project page. Sorry can't be of more help, Gustav. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I also have one and I had found this faq a while ago though I haven't yet got around to trying it (I have 13.2): https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/506187-Fingerprint-Reader-and-ope... HTH.
