1) Don't use pam_fprint, use pam_fprintd 2) It works doing something similar in Fedora You can try it out using a Fedora 12 live CD to compare. In Fedora, it was integrated in authconfig, so you just have to tick a box to enable Fingerprint authentication. In any case, my guess is that pam stack can't load the pam_fprint module, enable debug in gnome-screensaver, or if there's no errors there, enable debug for the module.
