Which versions have you been using? Building from git master or? The

I've had a similar issue with a Digital Persona device. It was resolved
long ago in the official code repository
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/commit/?id=9f408bf51b7740e87c3d0b90e5adc5de3c37c052

I don't know if you are seeing the same issue, but in order to help,
more information about device would be nice...

Best regards,
Martin
