Hi

I believe the Validity Sensors are very different from each other. If it doesn't work after modifying the usb id (as it happened to VFS300), I hardly believe this driver would work on this device. Check this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfprint/+bug/827669 maybe you can get more info regarding this device there.
