thinkfinger no longer works in kernel 2.6.28-r5

[mrpringle]

Hi,
Since I upgraded to kernel 2.6.28-r5 thinkfinger no longer asks me to swipe my finger when I run su from the command-line. I can however validate a user using the tf-tool program.

If I boot the system using the old (2.6.27-r kernel the fingerprint scanner works fine.

Does anyone know what the issue is?

Well, I guess there are 2 options:

1. They have changed the driver sufficently to stop that porgram working. If thats the case, check their web site. maybe post a question if they plan to upgrade soon.
2. You have forgotten some related option, or chosen the wrong driver in the kernel config.
