hi Richard,

my Thinkpad z60m seem to have a similar chip:

/usr/home/betom
$ dmesg -a | grep STM
ugen0: <STMicroelectronics Biometric Coprocessor, class 0/0, rev 1.00/0.01, addr 2> on uhub2

usbdevs -v 
[...]
Controller /dev/usb2:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000), Intel(0x0000), rev 1.00
 port 1 powered
 port 2 addr 2: full speed, power 100 mA, config 1, Biometric Coprocessor(0x2016), STMicroelectronics(0x0483), rev 0.01
[...]

I have fprint_demo 0.4 installed and it detects it properly. Have you tried running as root? i think there may be some access issues to certain devices that can get in the way...
