According to Thinkwiki there is a thinkfinger driver and Fedora has a
libbiometrics RPM implementing it.


You can also specifically get more information on what Timo and Pavel
(the openSUSE guys) are doing/working on from checking out the talk
that they did at FOSDEM. See  for
the slides and videos.

Kind thoughts,

That's great. I will check it out.
But we should also add it to ThinkWiki, so the world doesn't get the 
wrong impression that openSuse is falling behind. Could you ask the 
developers to add an entry there, please?
Thanks.

There was already some support in openSUSE 10.2 - check our wiki.

The main fingerprint developers work for us and therefore openSUSE is
the first distro to pick it up ;-)

[opensuse-factory] fingerprint reader support

[Carlos F Lange]

Is there a plan to include fingerprint reader support in 10.3?
According to Thinkwiki there is a thinkfinger driver and Fedora has a 
libbiometrics RPM implementing it.
