There is a patch for VFS495 against libfprint-0.0.6 https://balintbanyasz.wordpress.com/2015/03/27/get-validity-vfs-495-fingerprint-reader-working-in-ubuntu-14-04/ @hansmaulwurf, @yaxyo: These instructions work on Arch (Use rpmextract to extract the rpm files and place the files accordingly) but you lose out on being able to use fingerprint-gui since it has to be compiled against newer libfrpint. Here is the patch in particular http://ix.io/uXs (Patch does not apply at all on up to date libfrpint due to I assume massive code changes) EDIT: Also to run vcsFPService executable on boot I made a systemd unit file at /etc/systemd/system/fprint.service with the contents [Unit] Description=Fingerprint Service [Service] Type=forking ExecStart=/usr/bin/vcsFPService > /dev/null 2>&1 ExecStop=killall vcsFPService [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Then just systemctl daemon-reload, systemctl enable --now fprint.service

@hansmaulwurf, @yaxyo: there is no support for VFS495 in fprint, neither is there a fork which implements such support. The only way is to use a proprietary user-space daemon driver which is not packaged for arch, and I'm not willing to package it (e. g. because I do not have the necessary hardware to test it).

Hi, can you please include a patch for VFS495 Fingerprint Reader?

Would it be possible to include a patch for VFS495? Like described here https://balintbanyasz.wordpress.com/2015/03/27/get-validity-vfs-495-fingerprint-reader-working-in-ubuntu-14-04/ ?

- no need to relaod ; udev rules are updated automatically except for already plugged devices: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/udev - I added more rules for all supported devices from autosuspend rules - I update the message at install

xantares commented on 2014-08-21 11:43 (UTC)

I guess you can try: # udevadm control --reload-rules Maybe a more complete udev list is needed, could you check if your device is part of .rules file ?

After installing I get some advise from the installer. Among this advice is the following: [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] add uinput to the MODULES=() in /etc/rc.conf This is outdated as we are using systemd now. What should I do to load uinput? Also should this text be updated to the new situation.

xantares commented on 2014-08-10 16:05 (UTC)

Hi, That's the easy way, but the right way is to get that patch right for upstream inclusion. Sorry.

Hi, I have found a git-repo with a driver for Egistec S801U (lsusb: 1c7a:0801 LighTuning Technology Inc. Fingerprint Reader). The URL is https://github.com/lielfr/Libfprint-for-Egistec-S801U Recently that was ported to newer libfprint: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73762 Please have a look at this patches to see if you can somehow add it to the build. Kind regards, Michael.

Here is a updated pkgbuild: http://fpaste.org/28081/37483585/ It uses the new makepkg vsc features. Also made a number of options the same as extra/libfprint (autogen configure options, desc, etc.)
