How can I use the fingerprint reader on my HP DV6-3049TX?

I've tried it with some software (please edit so we know what you've tried) but it just says "No device".

WRITING EVERYTHING WITH CAPSLOCK ON MAKES IT HARDER TO READ. – Oli♦ Mar 4 '11 at 11:59

Please append the post with the output of lspci and lsusb so we can see what the fingerprint reader we're dealing with here is. – Oli♦ Mar 4 '11 at 12:06

What is the make of the fingerprint reader (eg. 'Validity')? What software is used to make it work on Windows (eg. 'Digital Persona')? – dv3500ea Mar 4 '11 at 12:06

This comment: FPrint - points out a software that could help you, it has a list of supported devices, but aparently your laptop is not in the list. Nonetheless I would give it a try
