Hi everyone,
I would like some advice on how to support a new finger print reader device
from
synaptics that is currently not supported in fprint added to the list.
Do let me know what information is required.
This is what I have been able to dig up until now.

*Bus 001 Device 002: ID 06cb:00c4 Synaptics, Inc. (I believe this is the
device) *
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 8087:0029 Intel Corp. AX200 Bluetooth

I believe the device is a synaptics device - haven't been able to dig in more
but looks
like there are very similar prod vendor id's that are already supported in the
codebase.
Do I need anything else other than libfprint - I run gnome 3.38.3 but still
can't find the
finger print options in my user management - I tried fingerprint-gui as well
but no luck
there.
I attempted to build it in myself by adding the new prod id in the code base -
not sure
where to go from here - I figured since it is the same vendor they may have the
same
interface and commands - but I think I need some direction from here - not too
familar
with the meson build system and how to go from here.

Any guidance or next steps would be quite helpful. I am willing to help with
coding
testing etc.
Thanks,
