Hi Andrej and thanks for your work.

I tried last code from vfs301 and libfprint with fprint-demo and it works well.

This is my configuration:
$ lsusb -s 001:004
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 138a:0008 Validity Sensors, Inc. VFS300 Fingerprint Reader
$ uname -a
Linux oz 3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:28:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ lsb_release -sd
Ubuntu 11.10

I attach a shell script to patch and compile libfprint with vfs301 and test it with fprint-demo and it works for me.

I hope to see soon this patch in the libfprint git master and fprint stable ppa.
