Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. My Lenovo Flex 6 14IKB uses a Synaptic touchpad and fingerprint scanner. After installing fingerprint-gui and adding my user to the group, the fingerprint-gui works, but the Synaptic Fingerprint Scanner is not found/recognized.

Describe the solution you'd like The ability to support the Synaptic Finger Print Scanner, running RebornOS (Arch/Antergos) with Deepin Desktop and LightDM greeter.

Describe alternatives you've considered fprintd, which is supposed to support Synaptic, but it does not seem to work.

I do have the exact same hardware requirement for the fingerprint hardware.

The fingerprint-sensor is found in Levono Thinkpad X1 Carbon (7th Gen)
