it's strange, the KDE screensaver works fine with FC5test3 on the test machine here. Could you please try to login with a new user and check if the problem still appears? Thanks
I created a brand new user, still the same issue. Logged in as root, still the same issue. Is it something that I didn't install? I installed mostly the default stuff, except I did not install GNOME.
it seems there're some packages missing on my system. Could you please attach the output of "rpm -qa"? thanks
Created attachment 125309 [details] output of rpm -qa As requested.
could you please install the following packages? xscreensaver-base-4.24-1.1 xscreensaver-gl-extras-4.24-1.1 Does the problem still appear? If yes, please try to create the strace back of kde screensaver with following command line: strace -f -o xs.log kcmshell screensaver. Thanks
Created attachment 125373 [details] strace error Installing xscreensaver packages did not help. If I try to start strace (as root), it gives me this error. I have not upgraded FC5t3 from anything - its running on a separate partition from FC4. I am reusing my FC4 home partition for my home directory though, could that be the problem?
Try right-clicking on the desktop and selecting "Configure Desktop". Then go to the Screen Saver tab. Do you see the error message "libGL.so.1: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Permission denied"? If so, the root problem is probably the same one referenced in Bug 182380. It appears to be an SELinux issue. For the record, I am observing the above. I am running FC5 Test 3 x86_64 using an integrated ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 (Shuttle ST20G5 motherboard).
I ran yum update and let it update hundreds of packages and the screensaver problem has now resolved itself. The OpenGL Screen Savers don't appear to work, but the other ones display and appear to work.

Yes, I do get this error as well.
