<p>Macieks: /* Fingerprint reader */</p> <hr /> <div>On my thinkpad R61, AHCI controller works on gentoo kernel 2.6.22r9 (i think i had to change /etc/fstab after installing in compatibility mode) and additionally you can install the AHCI driver on Windows 2000/XP (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=migr-62909) and reactivate the controller in the bios. i don't really know if this always works, but with kernel 2.6.22r9 it did. Anybody else who has the same luck? then you/I may add this to the wiki. it is better you add it, because i'm german and my english is not so well. thank you.<br /> <br /> --<br /> <br /> I never said it would not work, <br /> however, in my opinion there is no good reason for using it, <br /> and as it leads to BSODs on Window Systems which do not<br /> have the AHCI driver it is more safe to disable it. <br /> <br /> As for the english: I am swiss, so my (swiss)german<br /> and french are better than my english... you can add it<br /> if you'd like to, but I'd rather hear some more<br /> comments on this of other users. <br /> <br /> Fuchs<br /> <br /> --<br /> <br /> == Fingerprint reader ==<br /> <br /> Could you please show the output of lsusb?<br /> I've read that fingerprint scanner from R61 is not supported by thinkfinger.<br /> &lt;pre&gt;# lsusb<br /> Bus 007 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 <br /> Bus 006 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 <br /> Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 <br /> Bus 004 Device 002: ID 067b:3507 Prolific Technology, Inc.
