So in fprint_demo, the verify and identify works perfectly fine, right?

You mean using PAM?

This is interesting that fprint_demo works fine but not PAM. I have no 
clue here since it uses the same code. Maybe your fingerprint recorded 
(fprintd-enroll) is not a good scan and you should try to update it.
To libfprint developers: any ideas?

I will do it when I will commit some new changes to the driver.

I am still cleaning the code a bit before to ask for integration.

I don't have time to work on it currently but I will do as soon as possible.

Thanks a lot!
