GDM and fprint

I installed the following packages fprint_demo, libfprint and pam_fprint. I tried everything with fprint_demo and the hardware works. What should i do to enable login in from GDM with finger swipe?

Re: GDM and fprint

Try this link out... a few suggestions are given...although I cannot confirm myself if they work since I don't have fingerprint scanners on my 9 yr old Dell C810 ;-)

They are talking about thinkfinger on that tread and i've already given up on thinkfinger. Now i'm trying to configure fprint with gdm but don't know how...

IMO the settings should be the same. I´m using fprint now after thinkfinger without config changes.
