VNC screensaver & locker: missing XInput extensions

I use a vnc (tightvncserver) connection: Devuan/aarch64 and Armbian(Debian)/armfh (hosts) thru Win10/TigerVNC (client). Since the upgrade of the underlying base to Debian Bookworm, xscreensaver and any other locker fail to run for the same reason:
xscreensaver --no-splash
xscreensaver: 12:09:54: XInput extension missing

xtrlock -f
xtrlock (version 2.15): No X Input extension
I reached out the **Xscreensaver** developer, and he told me the Debian package brings with it all the necessary dependencies, and he doesn't know where the problem is. I also installed a bunch of additional packages but nothing has changed:

On Bullseye, xscreensaver and other lockers were working just fine, I can't figure out how to fix this, thanks!
