Lenovo/IBM TP T60 + fingerprint reader

I installed thinkfinger-package, but for some reason it wont save the fingerprint:

[oilgame@oilgame-laptop rc.d]$ sudo tf-tool --add-user oilgame

ThinkFinger 0.3 (http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net/)
Copyright (C) 2006, 2007 Timo Hoenig <thoenig@suse.de>

Initializing... done.
Please swipe your finger (successful swipes 3/3, failed swipes: 3)... done.
Storing data (/etc/pam_thinkfinger/oilgame.bir)...Could not acquire fingerprint (communication with fingerprint reader failed).
[oilgame@oilgame-laptop rc.d]$

Trying to verify:

[oilgame@oilgame-laptop pam_thinkfinger]$ sudo tf-tool --verify-user oilgame

Do you have the uinput module loaded?

I didn't do anything, but tf-tool started working

I have now a new problem with this, after modifying those files in n0dix's link I get "Login incorrect", when I login. It won't even give me space to type my password.

"sudo tf-tool --verify-user oilgame/root" Works fine..
