I know that there is a fingerprint reader; it worked under Windows before I scrubbed the DD and installed Linux. However, I cannot recognize the device from the above listing.

Also, how does one read the output from the device? Presumably it is a bitmap in some raw format.

Sorry, mis-read your original post. Do you know what the Synaptic device is?

A little more research turned up this thread:

Seems the device is USB ID 06cb:00bd as listed in yopur first post. See the thread above, apparently, it need firmware, and an update to libfprint to work.

I am pretty sure that it is the mousepad

No, that is your finger print reader. Read through the link I posted, that device is in bunch of Levono laptops. Do a search on the ID 06cb:00bd and it will take you to libfprint, among other things.

Thank you.
