the Screeensaver's don't WORK!


hello, I have installed the KDE 3.2.3, Slackware 10 with kernel 2.4.26 and with drivers of Nvidia (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6106-pkg1.run) and the screesaver's do not work, only works Euphoria(gl) and some similarities... The Screensaver that do not work, when i try to config the screensaver this message appears : " No Configuration available for <the screensaver>.
In my xorg.conf i have these lines...:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Nvidia Driver"
Driver "nvidia"
#VideoRam 4096
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection

I hope that somebody helps me

Thank you very much!

I would think a kde package is missing in your kde installation, I guess kdeartwork but not sure

And have you the kdegraphics package ?

Also, are these packages match in your system (all with same version number) ?
kdeartwork
kdebase
kdelibs

Have you /dev/nvidia0 ? If yes, you can always ln -s /dev/nvidia0 /dev/nvidia

Also check your /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modules.conf, there should be this line :
alias char-major-195* nvidia
