OK, maybe that's the way to go. If you're happy that you can't do more with the patch I'll look over it in more detail. > I've heard that you're writing authentification daemon, or something like > that, if it's so, when it will be available for public?

I know exactly the kinds of problems you are facing, and have spent months working on fixing them :) Today I reached a milestone - libfprint is now fully asynchronous (well, I temporarily disabled drivers for devices I don't own, but have ported the others) and provides an asynchronous API to library users. fprint_demo is also ported to the asynchronous API. If you want to take a look you need latest libusb git (master), latest libfprint git (libusb-1.0 branch), and latest fprint_demo git (async branch). The prerequisites for starting the authentication daemon were all the above tasks, which are now done as of today. So I started working on the daemon a few hours ago. I will publish it as soon as there is something worth publishing. This async work is all very volatile. For example the libusb-1.0 API is not stable and has work to be done. I have new ideas how I want the next incarnation of the libfprint async API to look too (current one will be modified without warning). Then the dbus API will hit the same instability for a while. I'm in a bit of a hurry preparing for my assessed demonstration, but once that is out of the way I can focus properly on stabilising things one at a time, starting with libusb.
