Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
System: Thinkpad T61 running Ubuntu 8.04
lsusb info: Bus 001 Device 018: ID 0483:2016 SGS Thomson
Microelectronics Fingerprint Reader
When I lock the screen using gnome-screensaver, the fingerprint reader
on my Thinkpad T61 gets really warm after a while. The same effect can
be achieved by leaving 'tf-tool --acquire' running in a terminal for a
minute or so. I'm not sure whether this is a bug in thinkfinger or
gnome-screensaver, but filing against gnome-screensaver because it
probably shouldn't poll the fingerprint reader while the password prompt
isn't up.
gnome-screensaver version: 2.22.2-0ubuntu1
libthinkfinger0 and libpam-thinkfinger versions: 0.3+r118-0ubuntu3
** Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu)
