### Fingerprint

Some X270's come with vfs (Validity Sensors) fingerprint readers. The fingerprint reader included with this model is `138a:0097 Validity Sensors, Inc`. There's a patched libfprint which adds partial support for 138a:0097. libfprint-vfs0097-gitAUR It allows fingerprint authentication, but only if fingers are previously enrolled on the device from Windows.

### No audio over HDMI

Use "aplay -l" to list all audio devices. Use speaker-test to find the correct device-id for HDMI audio, e.g.

    speaker-test -c 2 -r 48000 -D hw:0,7

Once you have identified the correct audio device id, add the device at the end of your /etc/pulse/default.pa:

    /etc/pulse/default.pa

    load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,7 channels=2 rate=48000 sink_properties=device.description=HDMI

Finally:

    killall pulseaudio
    pulseaudio --check
