Hi,
I want to report success with libfprint and upeksonly driving 147e:2016
hardware built into my Sony Vaio SZ61VN. I'm really glad the Wiki page
stating Sony devices won't work is wrong.
But there is something strange too: the BIOS offers me an option to
erase all fingerprints from the hardware. Even though I'd appreciate it
to clean my screen and casing, it certainly means some built-in memory
device. Also the Windows software asked me weather to store my prints on
disk or within the device. Unfortunately I can not go back there again,
Windows is gone. It seems like this sensor-only device does indeed have
some memory. But I don't need it, I'm happy the way it works now.
Thank You for making the very last part of my Laptop work with Linux!
Tim
