python-validity: 04f3:0c4b Elan Microelectronics Corp. ELAN:Fingerprint Not Supported.

Hey, I just got a new Lenovo Thinkbook-15 with the following specs as an output from uname -a command.

Linux thinkbook-15 5.11.0-41-generic #45~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 10 10:20:10 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux With a fingerprint sensor which seem not to be supported with most of the packages. 04f3:0c4b Elan Microelectronics

I went through the guideline in the readme file, but, failed to find a supported device when I run fprintd-enroll.

I took a sneak peek to the file prototype.py and found that my laptop’s sensor is not supported.

I get the following as an output to lsusb command

Is there anyone who can help me with this?

Please let me know if you need more info. Thanks.

Hi, I think here is a better place for a report. No? I add a comment in this issue

Hi, this project was created exclusively for Validity (Synaptics) products. Unless it’s some kind of OEM arrangement, I really doubt it will be ever supported by this project.

Same here, would need a driver.
