A Fix for the Fingerprint-Reader can easily be found online For the 3-Finger-Gestures I did not yet find a fix, but even coming from a mac I quickly ended up not really wanting to have it anymore. ##Interesting things about the hardware ...

I always loved the raspberry and wanted to them permanently for different purposes, but no matter what, they seemed to bug out after so time. Good, high quality power supplies didn’t help in my case. Even with a high quality PSU only 4.8 Volts where on the test points of the raspberry. ##My Solution Use a Buck-Converter that outputs about 5.2 Volts (The Buck-Converter is the kis3r33s available from china) The advantage of this Buck-Converter is, that is can actually supply enough amperage for the raspberry. The converter does not get warm. I used the shortest USB-Cable I could find (about 15cm), so that the voltage drop of the cable would be minimal. ##Effectiveness ...
