Does any one know about fingerprint in HP dv4 to work.
Any idea would be great to start.

fprint is installed but didnot detect the reader.

I am using a ThinkPad x200s which has a finger print reader; Opensuse 11.1 64bit

yast offeres me a dialog to configure the reader, but that ssserts that I do not have a f-reader. (Fingerprint device not available on this system) However lsusb says

Bus 004 Device 002: ID 08ff:2810 AuthenTec, Inc.

and the hardware info shows it as well

I have libfprint0 installed

Not running KDE or Gnome btw.

What is missing?

This might be a little late but according to the installation documentation from a fingerprint driver installation .tar from thinkfinger.sourceforge.net, the Authentec fingerprint reader is not compatible at this time with openSUSE at this time (according to how I read it)
