Package: xscreensaver Version: 4.23-4 Xscreensaver since version 4.21 (or maybe even earlier) can detect mouse buttons and the scroll wheel activity on linux by monitoring the /proc/interrupts file. This works OK in Debian binary version 4.21-7 but does not work in Debian binary 4.23-[1234]. I talked to Jamie and also compared the source trees but couldn't see any difference so at last I just rebuilt the 4.23-4 package and surprisingly now the /proc/interrupts is monitored correctly.
This could be a dupe of #203144 (if Vance skipped the version 4.21-7). So to repeat: Debian source archive of 4.23-4 is correct. Debian binary build of 4.23-4 as is provided on Debian FTP servers does not work correctly, though. Plain rebuilding on my machines (tried on two different desktops, both mix sarge+etch) with apt-get build-dep xscreensaver apt-get -b source xscreensaver fixes the problem for me. I have no explanation for this behaviour - unless the configure script detects somehow what to include in the binary build based on the environment of the building machine. Easy test of the problem: run xscreensaver with "-debug -no-capture" and scroll with the mouse wheel (or press mouse buttons) while not moving the mouse itself. The xscreensaver should report the following: > xscreensaver: 10:41:14: checking wall clock for hibernation (0:00:05). xscreensaver: 10:41:19: /proc/interrupts activity: mouse xscreensaver: 10:41:19: killing idle_timer (60000, 134878920) xscreensaver: 10:41:19: starting idle_timer (60000, 134878920) > xscreensaver: 10:41:19: checking wall clock for hibernation (0:00:05).
