Dear andree182,

You think about porting this driver to libfprint?

Congratulations for the wonderful job!

best regards,

Work very fine with VSF300 (Bus 001 Device 004: ID 138a:0008 Validity Sensors, Inc. VFS300 Fingeprint Reader)!

just change the proto.c line (135)
from:
dev->devh = libusb_open_device_with_vid_pid(NULL, 0x138a, 0x0005);
to:
dev->devh = libusb_open_device_with_vid_pid(NULL, 0x138a, 0x0008);

Congratulations!

(Dell Vostro 3500)

segmentation fault on the ./cli

I'm using for libfprint, but sometimes applications that used libfprint are crashed.

and...

recognition is too low. maybe i think because bottom of scanned image isn't not cropped well.

Thought you might want to know that 138a:0018 doesn't work.

Hi, I have a similar device, VFS451, but I can't make it work no matter what I do. I was hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction so I can get this thing working... I know this repo hasn't received an update in a really long time and andree182 may not even be using the same github account anymore but I really just don't know what to do anymore with this thing :(

Hi Andree. Thanks for working on this driver. I cannot compile it. (just for the record I am not a programmer). So when I compile it i get:
gcc -ggdb pkg-config --cflags libusb-1.0 pkg-config --libs libusb-1.0 -o cli proto.c cli.c

I have installed the packages libusb1-0, libusb1-0 dev, make and g++. It supposed to compile it without problem. Do you have any suggestion about this?
I am using Ubuntu 11.10 64bit. Another user claimed as well that cannot compile it and is using 64bit. Do you think is problem with the architecture?
Thanks
