Please note that the PKGBUILD for version 6.11 includes the build option --enable-pam-check-account-type (see here and here).

If you get the message "password initialization failed" when trying to unlock your screen, then you may need to uncomment the following line in /etc/pam.d/xscreensaver:

auth    include system-auth

xorg-res-utils is not necessary but you have to add xorg-appres, I just compile xscreensaver-arch-logo without problems

Sorry, i am not using latest X, because it sux. Anyway you can always use original xscreensaver for reference: [00:40:51] 0 ;) harvie@insomnia xscreensaver-arch-logo $ diff /var/abs/extra/xscreensaver/PKGBUILD PKGBUILD | grep -i res < depends=('libxxf86vm' 'libglade' 'mesa' 'pam' 'xorg-appres' 'libxmu') > depends=('libxxf86vm' 'libglade' 'mesa' 'pam' 'xorg-res-utils')

Can't build this anymore because xorg-res-utils has been cut from the repos. No idea what the solution is...

xaer0knight: wtf? you are unable to build the package completely or you have problems with xscreensaver itself? if you are unable to build, you should read the wiki and install base-dev.
