Comment 17 for bug 1589585

On this laptop several years back I had Windows installed and I configured figerprint to work. When using it I got my hair grey. I can type very fast with 10 finger blind, so I can type password much faster then use the fingerprint. Fingerprint is problem, sometimes it works, sometimes id does not. Don't like it.

Then when I have purge Windows I installed Ubuntu (don't know with version it was several years back) and never have any problem with spinning or CPU eating. Now when I have fresh install Ubuntu 16.04 I got directly into a problem.

It may be a driver problem or something similar. Don't know.

The answer: I don't do anything special with figerprint reader. Actually if special means I am not using it, then I'm doing something special. :)

Is there a way to disable this device or uninstall driver, because I just don't need it.

By the way if it helps I am using Thinkpad T60 laptop (at the time I have got it, it was IBM laptop, now this laptops are Lenovo). It looks like this is hardware specification: https://support.lenovo.com/si/sl/documents/migr-62722
