I have HP Probook 450 and it has integrated finger print reader VFS 495 from Validity Inc. I have Linux drivers from the HP site. Now I want to make it work it in Ubuntu. The drivers are in rpm format so I used alien converter to convert it into deb package and then installed.
Link to HP driver page: Driver
FYI: This driver package has some fprint wrapper library contained and also has a file HPUsbVFS495.img, but I was unable to figure out, how it works.
