ThinkPad T480 fingerprint reader on Fedora Linux 1# ThinkPad T480 fingerprint reader on Fedora Linux
23## Background
4The Synaptics fingerprint sensor (06cb:009a) present on my T480 is not supported by `libfprint` and `fprintd` as it requires a [non-free binary blob](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/-/issues/276). [uunicorn](https://github.com/uunicorn) created `open-fprintd`, a replacement for `fprintd`, that allows for loading of binary blobs. In conjunction with their `python-validity` driver we are able to make use of the inbuilt fingerprint reader. The following instructions were tested against Fedora Linux 35.
