You are right.
I once had activated fingerprint authentication activated in yast until I
realized the reader gets hot. (remembering the bug the libthinkfinger once had)
The first thing I did was disabling fingerprint authentication in yast. As this
didn't help I rebooted the machine but there is still the heating issue.
Now the libs are removed, but i didn't reboot since. (Heating occurs)
The next thing I want to do is reboot the machine and look if the heating issue
is gone. If not, remove the USB driver to check if the heat I feel is really
from the Sensor itself.
May sound a stupid idea filing a bug and then in the end checking if the heat
really comes from the sensor. I do this to be absolutely 1000% ubersure since I
didn't use the device for a longer time and it is next to the LCD-Cathode.
After a night of sleep I think that it may also be possible that this heat
comes from the cathode and I never realized it (but this is very unlikely).
It seems also be, that the heating up occurs randomly but I'll do a more
scientific rather than random testing this evening.
I'll not run away from this bug, and I'll supply infos needed :)
