All of the 2d screen savers work, but none of the OpenGL 3d screen savers do. Does any openGL work through fink? Is there some way i can test it? Does anyone else have this issue with the xscreensaver package?

I am running OS X 10.3.3, apple's X11 XFree86 4.3.0, and a current version of Fink.
I have installed the xscreensaver-gtk2 package from source, and things went well for the most part. I had to install an extra library that was not in the dependency, but things worked out in the end.
Once installed, I was looking through the different screen savers with xscreensaver-demo and i ran into a problem. All of the 2D screensavers work fine, but none of the OpenGL 3D (gears, GLMatrix, etc), I just get a black screen. I can turn on fps and other info text, which displays fine, but over a black screen.
I though maybe I needed mesa, but it looks like mesa is part of rootless xwindows now. I also tried installing glut and gtkglarea2 as they looked like important OpenGL packages, but they didnt help. This is a first generation Titanium Powerbook and has a weakish graphics card, but OS X programs using 3D seem to work fine (atom in a box, armigetron, bzflag). I figured if it didnt agree with the graphics chipset, the system would default to processing in software.
Has anyone had trouble with this? Anyone have this working? Any suggestions?
Thanks, -Matthew
