Fujitsu Lifebook P Series (P1510D) fingerprint swipe sensor does not work

Description of problem: Fujitsu Lifebook P Series (P1510D) fingerprint swipe sensor does not work. I suspect this is actually because there is no driver for it, and not because there is no software for it at a higher level, but am unsure how to check if there is a driver for it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.15-1.2025_FC5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get a Fujitsu Lifebook P Series (P1510D) with rawhide on it 2. Try to get it to realize that you're doing anything with the fingerprint sensor Actual results: Nothing happens. Expected results: It should recognize that you're trying to do something with it. Presumably, eventually, it should be able to be used instead of a login prompt, but that's much further down the road, I think. Additional info:
no specs, no driver.. not much we can do here. maybe someone will figure out how it works one day, but until then, we're not going to be investing any effort into writing a driver for it.
Dunno if this is helpful, but information on doing this on a T43 is here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_enable_the_fingerprint_reader Adding sgrubb to CC; Steve: do we want a tracker bug somewhere for biometric login support in future releases?
