    Ther was a person who found out that xscreensavers needed to be added to
    their autostart. I believe this was when xscreensavers never started.
    For the problem related to only have blank screens, there are several
    possible problems. The first possibility is you do not have the extras
    for screensaver installed. You should have the following packages
    installed. Disregard the versiions, since I run development.
    xscreensaver-base-4.22-11
    xscreensaver-gl-extras-4.22-11
    xscreensaver-extras-4.22-11

    The next possible cause is with a setting in kde and its screensaver
    settings. There is an advanced setting feature that you need to check
    for gl and additional settings, KDE users might be able to help you with
    a description as to where the settings are checked active.

    For the second issue, KDE users would know more about the settings.
