Arrow how to access webcam and fingerprint scanner in acer tm 4720 in fedora 9

hi,

i'm having an acer travelmate 4720 laptop, which has an integrated webcam and a fingerprint scanner. i have installed fedora 9. my problem is that i don't know how to access these two pieces of hardware.

i've done 'dmesg' and i found this for webcam:

usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=064e, idProduct=a101
usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=2, Product=1, SerialNumber=3
usb 1-1: Product: Acer CrystalEye webcam
usb 1-1: Manufacturer: SuYin
usb 1-1: SerialNumber: CN0314-OV03-VA-R02.00.00
and this for fingerprint scanner:
Quote:
usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
usb 3-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb 3-2: New USB device found, idVendor=08ff, idProduct=1600
usb 3-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=1, SerialNumber=0
usb 3-2: Product: Fingerprint Sensor
are these 2 devices connected on a usb bus ? any advice on how i can use these devices in fedora 9 ? thanks in advance.
