Hi,

Have successfully installed the fprint libs and demo etc.  Am running 
Opensuse 11 on a Lenovo 3000 N200.  If i run fprint_demo as std user 
Status shows as could not open device.  Run is as SU and it works fine. 
  I've managed to enroll and now when using SU from a command prompt I 
can successfully use my fingerprint to gain access rather than a password.

However on GDM (running Gnome) the laptop doesn't seem to recognize my 
finger print (nothing happens when swiping) so have to resort to userid/pw.

My common-auth has this in it.

auth       required pam_env.so
auth       sufficient   pam_fprint.so
auth       sufficient   pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok
auth       required pam_deny.so

Any ideas please?

Thanks
