    i have a clevo p650sg (sager8652) and i uninstalled the synaptics driver. i then lost the ability to login via fingerprint reader. i still have the fingerprint driver installed though ('egistec fingerprint driver')are these two somewhat tied together?

    Were they synaptics driver causing you issues so you decided to uninstall it, or were you just doing some clean up of programs.
