Public bug reported:
I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy, final release, with most updated packages available to
date of this report.
The hardware is a Lenovo IMB Thinkpad R61 (model code 8918-5WG), acquired
around mid october 2007.
Kernel is Linux 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007
i686 GNU/Linux
The laptop has a fingerprint reader that ubuntu completely fails to
recognize, even by installing the thinkfinger package that is used by
many previous Thinkpad models.
According to lsusb the reader is an internal USB device with USB ID 147e:2016
(manufacturer: TouchStrip , product: Fingerprint Sensor).
According to the Windows Thinkpad diagnostics tool it's a "TouchChip
Fingerprint Coprocessor"
I will attach to the bug the full lsusb report and the windows
diagnostics tool report. Please let me know about any further
information you need and I will gladly provide it.
