Some of the GL savers are still a little slugish or buggy. I installed the latest KDE updates in the Centos 4.1 update repository but that did not solve the problem. I ran man xscreensaver and found out a way to run xscreensaver that bypasses KDE and this got around the problem. I did the following: 1). ran control-center and turned screensavers off in KDE. 2). created a file named xscreensaver.desktop and placed it in by ~.kde/Autostart directory. The file contains the following lines: [Desktop Entry] Exec=xscreensaver Name=XScreensaver Type=Application X-KDE-StartupNotify=false 3). then I created a program launcher on my desktop that runs xscreensaver-demo when I want to change to different screen savers. Now xscreensaver startups when I login and my screen savers work! Rex has a set of RPMs from redhad-kde that also fix the problem. I wonder if Rex could make them available on the Centos 4.1 updates repository?
