Known Issues:

The workaround for lightdm is a very dirty hack. The DISPLAY variable for pam authentication is hard coded to ":0" because of the missing environment variable! This will only work on the first display for login. If you can, please vote for bug #862559 on launchpad.

KDE enviroments: The "Fingerprint PAM" does not work for login and unlocking kscreensaver due to a bug in kdm and kscreensaver on some systems. Please have a look at the bugreports 182623 and 105631 and vote for it!
