Do you currently have any page/doc/wiki about the current efforts in
writing an API to handle fingerprint stuff ? (as in (3))
No, but feel free to use the dpfp wiki if you want to start one.
Anyways, how idmouse got into the mainstream kernel, then ?
You are asking this because its usability is questionable?
Before you start on any of the more advanced code such as unified API
and fingerprint recognition, you need the basic device support in place.
The idmouse driver does this.
Greg is particularly keen on including semi-working driver code in the
Linux kernel even if there is no complete picture, because it really
raises awareness and development efforts. After all, if idmouse wasn't
included because it doesn't form a complete fingerprint login system,
I'd probably have never heard of it and would have no clue about it's
capabilities.
