Timur,

I presume that you mean "after locking the screen you should see 'Password or 
swipe finger: ' prompt in the unlock dialog but unlocking doesn't work. Swiping 
finger
has no effect and after entering password the dialog hangs saying 
'Checking...'."

I am not sure what was unclear about "makes it work for me now", but
after changing the group membership of /dev/input/uinput to plugdev, I
successfully unlock the screensaver dialog with thinkfinger.  Yes, on
Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid.
