According to this page how to enable FDE ?
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Full_Disk_Encryption_(FDE)

Then in the middle of page is written :
 TPM

It should be possible to use TPM (with fingerprint readers...) not tested
yet.

   - T61 with TPM & fingerprints, FDE password works with a configured
   fingerprint but you must use windows based software to program the imprint.
   By keeping a small windows partition, I am able to boot linux with a
   fingerprint, fingerprint passes the TPM power-on password AND the FDE disk 1
   password, which is separate.

He/She has mntioned that it is possible to use ,but how ?
