Help

Howdy, I have a framework 13 and my goodix fingerprint reader cannot be seen by nixos. I had it working in a fedora install and have reinstalled nixos a few times always with zero luck, Any ideas?

I solved it by disabling TOD. Remove the lines from your config:

services.fprintd.tod.enable = true;
services.fprintd.tod.driver = pkgs.libfprint-2-tod1-goodix;
