Please try this patch against xscreensaver 5.05 and let me know if it helps?

    http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/xscreensaver-randr-patch.txt

(Please don't distribute builds incorporating this patch -- it's not tested well enough yet. Consider it a dangerous alpha.)

Things I'm interested in hearing about:

    - Systems with multiple monitors.  Do all monitors go
      black when xscreensaver activates?

    - Adding and removing monitors while the screen is not
      blanked.  Does it look right once the screen blanks?

    - Adding and removing monitors while the screen is
      already blanked.  Does everything reconfigure properly?

    - Changing the resolution of the monitor(s) using the
      "xrandr" command.

    - Does it correctly realize which monitors are actually
      attached to the system and in use?

    - Does it work with multiple X screens (the :0.1 style)?

    - Does it work when using the old Xinerama extension
      instead of RANDR.

    - Does it work using the VidMode extension to zoom and pan
      around (that is, "monitor" and "desktop" are different
      resolutions, via Ctrl-Alt-KP_Plus and KP_Minus.)

There is a bug if:

    - It ever crashes (obviously!)

    - There is ever a situation where a screen is not
      completely covered by the xscreensaver windows.
      (Unless two screens are configured to overlap).

Thanks!
