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!
