It is a lot to download. However, most of the available updates are to fix 
security and usability issues. Not installing the updates leaves the 
system open to compromise. It's unfortunate, but you really should 
install all the updates even if they have nothing to do with your current 
screensaver problem. When your machine gets rooted, the screensaver will 
be the least of your problems. ;)

The screensavers work here with multiple consoles open. I don't know what 
that would have to do with the problem, but if that turns out to be the 
case, it's someplace to start.

Does the screen stay on, or does it blank and not display screensavers?
