I think that a possible project for someone would be to implement the functionality in libinput (or possibly via uinput) where a fingerprint reader could act as a scroll wheel for the touchpad. This functionality is common on Windows laptops, but completely missing in the Linux input stack. Yes, alternative scroll methods exist, so this is low-priority. One complication would be to ensure that the primary (authentication-related) functionality of the fingerprint reader is preserved. Note: I am not a student, and won't qualify as a mentor, either. So this is just an abstract idea for somebody to pick up. -- Alexander E.
