You have the possibility to use xscreensaver under KDE. Firs of all you
need xscreensaver installed; if your video card has acceleration (DRI)
enabled you can also install a second file named (sorry I don't remember
the whole name) xscreensaver-GLI or similar (I think is in the second or
third 9.0 cd). 

Then go to your home directory and change to the Autostart kde directory
(cd /home/<your username>/.kde/Autostart); you must create a file in
this directory (touch start-xscreensaver.sh) and the file just need the
next line: xscreensaver -nosplash (you can write this with any text
editor; I like to use midnight commander (mc). 

After that you must make executable the file: chmod +x start-xscreensaver.sh

Now remember to dissable the kde screensaver (kde control center) and
restart kde.

To configurate  xscreensaver to use as screensaver as you have
installed, with kde runing start a console and write: xscreensaver-demo;
you will be able to select "Random Screen Saver" and test all the
avalaible screensaver, dissabling those that give you problems. Anyway
you will have more than 50 different :-)
