Hi @dodancs , Not having a `*.xpfwext` seems to be normal for some sensors. However you do need a driver DLL. Looking at your file list `synaWudfBioUsbSGX107.dll` appears to be...

Nah, sorry. I have a feeling that dealing with SGX could take way more time than I'm prepared to spend on it. Are you sure there are no non-SGX versions...

Yeah, it is sort of `sudo` and/or PAM module problem, not the `python-validity` itself. In theory it should be possible to authenticate with either a finger or a password *in...

> neither calib-data.bin nor backoff exist on this repo Those are runtime files. They are still in use (`python-validity` creates and uses them), however they probably do not belong in...

I concur, `python-validity` abuses `/usr/share`, but this PR looks incomplete. There is more stuff stored under `/usr/share/python-validity/` which belongs in `/var`, like, calibration data and firmware. We also need to...
