fingerprint-reader

I've got a new laptop which is Lenove's E420s. And I have encountered a big problem that I can't make the fingerprint reader work properly.

I've also tried fingerprint-gui. But unfortunately, it's told that "No Device Found". Here is my screenshot: http://ge.tt/98Xg2WD/v/0

It's said that 147e:1002 is supported by fingerprint-gui on the official website.

So, I'm curious about the situation. Anybody knows?

P.S: I'm using gentoo, but I think this problem may not have anything to do with distribution since I compiled the source from official site.
