    You could add a link to xscreensaver in your starupt directory. That should start the daemon when you log into x.

    Are you running as root? The screensaver doesn't work when logged in as root, most likely for security reasons.
    And you shouldn't log in as root, just su to root in a console window when you need it to do something.
