Fingerprint for Dell XPS 9310

Hardware Support
1

Hello,
I have tried now couple of coding but somehow I cannot get the fingerprint reader run on my Dell XPS 13 (9310) for Zorin OS 18.

lsusb shows:
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 27c6:532d Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co.,Ltd. Fingerprint
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 8087:0026 Intel Corp. AX201 Bluetooth
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

I tried couple of drivers installation I found online in help pages. But nothing seems to work.

It looks like you drew the short straw with that particular device. Having searched I post here a snippet:

" * Status : As of February 2026, no reliable or widely confirmed driver exists for 27c6:532d on Linux. The device remains unsupported in upstream kernels and standard fprintd implementations."

If fingerprint security is a necessity, the only option available (at a high price) is:

$139 US.
