T43, Fingerprint Scanner, pam, xscreensaver, gdm
Posted: Tue Jan 23, 2007 6:37 am
So, since my T43 has the fingerprint scanner, I figured I'd put it to work. For GDM, I set up the following /etc/pam.d/gdm:
However, gdm always asks me to scan my finger twice, and sometimes (depending on the moon phase or something), it asks for the password, too. Funky.
I have also set up /etc/pam.d/xscreensaver as follows:
but xscreensaver, recompiled with pam support, happily ignores that.
Pointers? Hints? Speculations? Rants?
Or maybe just a cookie?
