[Thinkfinger-devel] tf-tool --acquire doesn't seem to do anything?!?

[Karl H. Beckers]

Hi there,

have this sgs thomson fingerprint reader on my toshiba tecra m9 and was
hoping for thinkfinger to enable that. I build from source, but running
tf-tool gave me a prompt to swipe, but never any further reaction (should
the fingerprint reader light up?). Been swiping for ages and nothing
happened, no error message, but no success either. Compiling with
usb-debug gave me tons of bulk reads.

This is my reader:

Is this just me, or is this the wrong hardware?
