Jerome,
Yes, I understand. I can successfully open the GUI to configure my
fingerprint, but while scanning my finger, the program crashes... that's
the reason I asked the steps you followed to make your fingerprint
reader to work... I think I can't do anything more than that... I also
filed a bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=982018
Anyway, thank you very much Jerome!
All the best,
Germán.
