Shengyao, have you tried to manually "hack" the driver including this new ID to the id_table?

@Maro, I tried hack the driver by adding the ID to libfprint-1.90.2+tod1/libfprint/drivers/synaptics/synaptics.c

  { .vid = SYNAPTICS_VENDOR_ID, .pid = 0xBE, },

and tested on a ThinkPad which has this ID, but no lucky, fprintd-enroll will reply "list_devices failed: No devices available" as before.

This is weird, it should find the device...

Make sure you're loading the proper library.
