Description Magnus Boman 2010-02-23 21:58:37 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.0) Gecko/20100115 SUSE/3.6.0-1.3 Firefox/3.6

Fingerprint read doesn't work when using kernel from Factory. Was not a problem with 11.2.
The other issue with this is that the fingerprint reader gets extremely hot.

This is with Lenovo T61P

mboman@linux-1jxd:~> rpm -q kernel-desktop
kernel-desktop-2.6.33-2.1.x86_64

I looked through messages but couldn't find anything related to this. Please let me know what information I can provide.

Reproducible: Always

identical issue to report lenovo t60p - was using with 11.2 - broken with 11.3 rc1 +factory

use YaST to enable fingerprint reader - and launch user management - did the three swipes to capture a fingerprint ID for user - all seems to go ok.

logout or reboot makes no difference: on login screen user selected and prompted for password or scan - but swipe not even acknowledged that it did not capture properly - like "capture unsuccessful try slower swipt" or whatever that you sometimes get in 11.2

I have tracked this down.  It is a display manager problem.  Login (console) as well as gnome-screensaver works fine, GDM and KDM fail.

Magnus, David:  Please file bugs against GDM and KDM to get this fixed.  I suspect that they have dropped patches which they shouldn't ;-)

Thanks!
