.xscreensaver is found in /home/<username>/.xscreensaver, as in the home directory of your user (I forgot to escape the special html characters in my last comment and of course I didn't catch that in the preview).

About the patch: you have to extract the source code, "cd" into the resulting directory and run

patch -p1 < /path/to/the/fingerprint.patch

Afterwards you have to install the software as described in the README file that comes with it. But the patch will probably not apply cleanly to version 4.24, and I haven't had time to update it, so use 4.23 instead.

And about your pam config files: first of all, don't put lines starting with "password" in common-"auth", that file is meant for pam authentication modules (hence the name). Otherwise they don't look totally wrong, but I'm just guessing, since I can't quite tell which file is which from your comment.
