Title: Help with fingerprint sensor drivers (Asus UX461FA, ELAN 04F3:30BE)

Hello!

I have an Asus ZenBook Flip 14 (UX461FA) laptop with a fingerprint sensor embedded in the touchpad. However, the sensor is not recognized on Manjaro. I have tried finding the appropriate drivers but without success so far.

The lsusb command does not list the fingerprint sensor, but dmesg shows information about the touchpad ELAN1300:00 04F3:30BE. It seems like the fingerprint sensor is part of this device.

Here is the device information from /proc/bus/input/devices:

I: Bus=0018 Vendor=04f3 Product=30be Version=0100
N: Name="ELAN1300:00 04F3:30BE Touchpad"
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.1/i2c_designware.1/i2c-7/i2c-ELAN1300:00/0018:04F3:30BE.0002/input/input23

I have tried installing libfprint as well as AUR packages like libfprint-tod-git and libfprint-elanmoc2-git, but nothing has worked so far.

If anyone has experience with this sensor or knows which drivers might work, I would really appreciate your help.

Thank you!

I no not use or own a device with a fingerprint reader that works with linux so this is pure theory: If the sensor is not supported by fprint (the component that is used) there is no driver/support.
