[fprint] New project "fingerprintGUI"

[Wolfgang Ullrich]

Hi List,

I have started a project "fingerprintGUI" that uses "libfprint" and is
aimed to make usage of fingerprints easier on Linux systems. It is in a
very early stage (has only started 2 weeks before). I have made a (very
poor) homepage for it on http://www.darkblue.homeip.net/fingerprint .
There is a couple of screenshots shown and a snapshot of the sources
available for download as a tarball.

My work was stopped yesterday because of the following 2 problems:

1. The UPEC fingerprint reader in my IBM R52 notebook has no driver
function for "identifying" fingerprints.

Has anyone informations whether this will be available in the near
future? The only hint I could find so far was in the wiki
http://reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Upekts 
where it reads "this can become a future project". If not, I need to buy
another fingerprint device capable of indentifying with the Linux
driver. Can anyone recommend a device?

2. I have no knowledge about how to "plugin" something like a
"fingerprint only login" into kdm, gdm etc. Can anyone give some advice
about where to get more information about this?
