I suppose somewhere in the multiverse there is a world where the MIT-SCREEN-SAVER extension is under active development. In our universe, that code almost certainly hasn't been touched since the 90s. XScreenSaver does not and will not use that server extension. Install XScreenSaver 6.04 and then "man xscreensaver-systemd". -- Jamie Zawinski • jwz.org • dnalounge.com
