No Luck from AuthenTec. On the bright side I seemed to get a response who took the request seriously, and responded intelligently. Basically they only give out specs under mutual NDA, and while they understand the "growing interest in Linux", they will only work with a direct customer of theirs. Haven't tried lenovo, as there doesn't seem to me a simple tech support email, it looks liek I'd have to open a trouble ticket, which is waay overkill foor this. Plus the odds are very very low. In short, we're on our own. john.c -- John Clemens http://www.deater.net/john john at deater.net "I Hate Quotes" -- Samuel L.
