Hi I have a motion computing tablet model m1400. I am running the 32bit hardy version. It uses the authentec 2501 fingerprint scanner. I installed your software using debs someone pointed me to (version 0.6) However it does not recognize the hardware. After some searching I found a post that states the following:

I have a Motion Computing M1400 Tablet with an AES2500 chip (or
something like that). The aes2501 driver works perfectly fine with
it, but I needed to add 0×08ff:0×2500 to the driver’s vender/product
table. Other than that it works great!

BTW, I could not create an account on the Wiki to put this on the
Supported Devices page, it did not give me an option to create an
account.

Regards,
Daniel Hazelbaker

So my question is how do you get the libfprint to support this device? I dont know how to add it and then compile it.

HP 8510w mobile workstation has the aes2501. Running Ubuntu 7.10.

Sometimes it works but other times I get the following
aes2501:error [dev_init] could not claim interface 0
fp:error [fp_dev_open] device initialisation failed, driver=aes2501

any clues ?

To atlas95:
you have to scan your finger. If the scan will be successful you’ll be prompted to confirm, otherwise it will display the password prompt.

It is working (almost) perfectly on my HP 6910p - the only improvement could be possibility to allow more than one try with fingerprint before switching to password prompt.

Thanks dsd! Very good work!

I have this currently in y /etc/pam.d/common-auth

auth sufficient pam_fprint.so
auth required pam_unix.so nullok_secure

And in gdm after typing my login, nothing appears! I can’t enter the password….

Hello,
Before I use thinkfinger, but i’m switching to fprint.
I search how to get working with gnome-screensaver and gdm.
Could you help me please?

Thanks for this very good program!

I’ve installed libfprint, pam_fprint, and fprint_demo on my Lenovo and tried all the examples/demos. Very impressive work!

It’s hard to imagine that the quality of scanning and recognition could get any better, at least for the AES2501. After a couple of dozen verifications, I’ve not a single mismatch for the correct finger, nor a single false positive with the wrong fingers. That’s a far higher success ratio than I experienced with the proprietary AuthenTec drivers for my AES3400, and that’s a non-swiping reader!

You may be pleased to hear that pam_fprint works fine with gdm, gnome-terminal, and even gnome-screensaver’s screen locking feature. Gdm does need some kind of popup or message to inform the user it’s waiting for a scan after you enter your username, but perhaps that’s just my gdm theme hiding stuff from me. gnome-terminal and gnome-screensaver do show messages.

Oops, the above was me.

I also spoke too soon… that Linux device has an AES3400.
