Hi!
I own a cheap USB mouse with fingerprint sensor called “tx 3D Optical Biomouse”, I would like to use it with openSuse 11.1 but I have some problems.
(Another manufacter of this product is Ritech)
http://www.texed.biz/images/txbio.gif
My kernel is:
Linux 2.6.27.21-0.1-pae #1 SMP 2009-03-31 14:50:44 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
lsusb detects device as:
Bus 002 Device 008: ID 0483:2016 SGS Thomson Microelectronics Fingerprint Reader
(it is listed in Supported devices - fprint project , vendor USB is different but I think it should work)
When I enroll finger in User Management I receive the following error :’(
upekts:error [read_msg] non-zero bytes in cmd response
upekts:error [read_msg28] expected response, got -1 seq=20
upekts:error [read_msg] non-zero bytes in cmd response
upekts:error [read_msg28] expected response, got -1 seq=30
fp:error [fp_enroll_finger_img] enroll failed with code -71
I tried to install fprint_demo, it returns:
Device: UPEK Touchstrip
Status: Device ready for use
Driver: upekts
Non-imaging device
Driver is correct (I know this mouse includes a biometric coprocessor) and it seems to be recognized but when I enroll finger I receive the error -71 again
I tried to install and use Thinkfinger but it doesn’t work too:
# tf-tool --acquire
ThinkFinger 0.3 (http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net/)

Initializing... done.
Could not acquire fingerprint (communication with fingerprint reader failed).
Any ideas? Please can you help me?
Thank you.
