I used thinkfinger successfully for a while now. But since I updated xorg-server from 1.4.1 (I think...) to 1.5.3 (or 1.5.3-r1) it stopped working. I can use it on the VTs to login, no problem there. I can test it with tf-tool --verfiy-user, works like a charm. But when I do an "su" in gnome-terminal I get the usual "Password or swipe finger:" without being able to use the fingerprinter to auth. All I get in the log is this: Jan 31 02:32:18 tracy input: Virtual ThinkFinger Keyboard as /class/input/input13 Jan 31 02:32:18 tracy NetworkManager: <debug> [1233365538.450281] nm_hal_device_added(): New device added (hal udi is '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_5').

You probably updated a lot more than xorg-server alone. Could you please post your `emerge --info' too?
Well, I have got a bunch of software installed that is masked (i.e. xorg-x11-7.4 and deps). But since the problem only appears in X and not on the VTs or with tf-tool, I figured xorg-server is probably the problem. # emerge --info Portage 2.1.6.4 (default/linux/x86/2008.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.27-gentoo-r8 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r8-i686-Genuine_Intel-R-_CPU_T2500_@_2.00GHz-with-glibc2.0 Timestamp of tree: Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:40:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [disabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7-r1, 2.1.6-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r14, 2.5.2-r7 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 dev-util/cmake: 2.4.8 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=prescott -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -msse -msse2 -mmmx" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=prescott -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -msse -msse2 -mmmx" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gentoo" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en de" MAKEOPTS="-j4" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/java-overlay /usr/portage/local/local-overlay /usr/portage/local/layman" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alsa avahi bash-completion bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdda cddb cdr cli cracklib crypt cups custom-cflags daap dbus divx dri dvb dvd dvdr dvi eds encode exif ffmpeg flac fortran fuse gdbm gif gmp gnome gnome-keyring gnutls gpm gstreamer gtk hal hddtemp hfs iconv idn imagemagick ipod ipv6 isdnlog jabber java java6 jpeg jpeg2k kde4 kerberos libgda libnotify logrotate mad maildir midi mmx mono mp3 mpeg mudflap musepack musicbrainz nautilus ncurses networkmanager nls nntp nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg opengl openmp pam pcre pdf perl png pppd pulseaudio python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection samba sdl session smapi socks5 speex spl sqlite sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg sysfs tcpd theora threads tiff tk truetype unicode v4l v4l2 vcd vim-syntax vorbis wifi win32codecs x264 x86 xcb xcomposite xinerama xorg xulrunner xv xvid zeroconf zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" DVB_CARDS="usb-dtt200u" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev mouse keyboard synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en de" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="radeon fglrx vesa" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
I no longer have the hardware for sys-auth/thinkfinger. Any developer, please feel free to adopt this package and change metadata.xml Thank you.
If you press return after swiping the finger it works - strange, because this was not needed before, but after all this is not really a bug anymore.
