finger print reading broken?

[Michael Cronenworth]

Under Fedora 10, finger print reading worked with my supported aes1610 
finger print device. GDM let me login with my finger.

Under Fedora 11 it no longer detects my reader at all. I fired up a Live 
CD and it does not detect the reader either.

I don't see any bugzilla component for the fprint stuff. Where do we 
file bugs?

libfprint, probably. Did you check the logs to see what error you were
getting? There's one known one -

Weird... didn't see that component at first. The bug you listed was 
against a different reader device and I get "no devices available" and 
no "enroll" button in gnome-about-me.

The aes1610 driver has not been ported yet to the new libfprint 0.1.0-pre1
which Fedora 11 ships. So your hardware is no longer supported. :-(

Hardware support regressions are unfortunate.

OK. Thanks for the info. Maybe if I find motivation I'll help the port 
process along.

Hello all

i have a somewhat working driver for aes1610 for libfprint 0.1.0-pre2, but
i need help with testing it. Fingerprint images taken with fprint_demo
look good, but i never get a match (this also happens very rarely on windows
though, so it may be my hardware faulty)

The driver is based on aes2501 template with parts taken from
0.6.0 aes1610; note it also randomly crashes if you swipe the
finger on the reader too slowly.

Source file is here:
http://guidograzioli.fedorapeople.org/aes1610/aes1610.c
(you have to fiddle with configure.ac and Makefile.in to build it yourself,
as the driver was disabled)

I also have F11 rpms with debugging turned on here:
http://guidograzioli.fedorapeople.org/aes1610/

If you try it and cant login anymore to your desktop, or other bad
things happen, dont blame me, you are warned.

regards
