Which XPS is it? I believe most of their fingerprint readers should be supported in recent libfprint versions.
- aljgz 5y agoIt's 7390. When I bought it there was no Linux driver. And then they released an Ubuntu only driver naming it "Linux driver". My device is 27c6:5385 which is not listed in https://fprint.freedesktop.org/supported-devices.html https://fprint.freedesktop.org/supported-devices.html. I remember people trying to reverse-engineer the Ubuntu driver, or re-pack it for Fedora. Unfortunately, I did not dare to install the repacked version.
- kelnos 5y agoNot the person you are replying to, but I have a XPS 13 9380 (the 2018 model), and the fingerprint sensor is still not supported on Linux. I'm subscribed to the relevant issue on the libfprint bug tracker, so if there was news, I'd hear about it.
