Bug Description

When fingerprint device is used (by fingerprintd), xscreensaver asking for finger endlessly. This can be overrulled by combination of 'esc' and finger scanning.

That problem appears after upgrade from raring to sausy.

/etc/pam.d/xscreensaver:
@include common-auth
@include common-account

/etc/pam.d/common-auth:

# here are the per-package modules (the "Primary" block)
auth [success=2 default=ignore] pam_fprintd.so max_tries=1 timeout=10 # debug
auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so nullok_secure try_first_pass
# here's the fallback if no module succeeds
auth requisite pam_deny.so
# prime the stack with a positive return value if there isn't one already;
# this avoids us returning an error just because nothing sets a success code
# since the modules above will each just jump around
auth required pam_permit.so
# and here are more per-package modules (the "Additional" block)
auth optional pam_ecryptfs.so unwrap
auth optional pam_cap.so
