I wish this thread had appeared about two weeks ago.

When I installed kdeartwork for something else, I found that a lot of the screensavers worked. I then installed xscreensaver, and a lot more did. Since the ones I was interested in worked, I left it at that--but from what you have said, installing kscreensaver likely would do the trick and get me all of them.

I think I'll still leave it like it is, as I now have about twenty-four set up this way. But I think I will install on one and keep the .deb around if anyone else wants to add it.

Now if only I could disable screen-blanking. I's a bit disappointing to have a screensaver set up and working--but come back to the PC in a half hour and find the screen blanked.
