Work very fine with VSF300! (Bus 001 Device 004: ID 138a:0008 Validity
Sensors, Inc. VFS300 Fingeprint Reader)

just change the proto.c line (135)
from:
        dev->devh = libusb_open_device_with_vid_pid(NULL, 0x138a, 0x0005);
to:
        dev->devh = libusb_open_device_with_vid_pid(NULL, 0x138a, 0x0008);

Congratulations!
