Greetings all,
I have a Sony G2 laptop, am running Debian testing and am trying to get
the fingerprint reader working if possible.
I read on the mailing lists that other Sony laptops were not successful,
so I don't have high hopes.
I am not a developer but am happy to test code / give bug reports if it
is of any use.
The story so far is...
# lsusb | grep -i finger
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0483:2016 SGS Thomson Microelectronics Fingerprint Reader
# tf-tool --acquire --verbose
ThinkFinger 0.3 (http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net/)
Copyright (C) 2006, 2007 Timo Hoenig <***@xxxx.xx>
Running in verbose mode.
* Mode: acquire
* Biometric identification record file: '/root/.thinkfinger.bir'
Initializing... done.
tf-tool: TF_STATE_COMM_FAILED (0xfe)
Could not acquire fingerprint (communication with fingerprint reader failed).
