My project for the evening - configure my X201's fingerprint reader for use in Ubuntu 10.10. Here's the process.
Source: https://launchpad.net/~fingerprint/+archive/fingerprint-gui
Open terminal, enter the following
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fingerprint/fingerprint-gui
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fingerprint-gui policykit-1-fingerprint-guid libbsapi
Close terminal, then reboot. Open System>Preferences>Fingerprint GUI. Select the upec Biometric Touchchip/Touchstrip Fingerprint Sensor, click next. The GUI will walk you through enrolling your fingerprints, and voila - logins, sudo, and keyring are all tied to your swiped fingerprint.
