Bug#490113: fingerprint reader 100% busy after loggin in with wdm
Control: tag -1 + moreinfo
Hi Tino,
I know, nobody replied to that bug report of yours yet. I stumbled
upon it when looking through the bug reports against wdm as I use wdm
on a Thinkpad myself.

As thinkfinger has been replaced by libfprint, do you still have such
issues with wdm and the fingerprint reader?
What kind of Thinkpad do you have? Mine (T61) seems to have a different
fingerprint reader (lsusb reports "SGS Thomson Microelectronics
Fingerprint Reader").
