Does anybody know how to get all the 3d screensavers in xscreensaver working under damn small 1.5. I installed the xscreensaver dsl but only half of the savers work...Any ideas?

You will probably need to install xfree86 and maybe a video driver that supports hardware acceleration. DSL has no openGL.

I've installed XFree86 and the nvidia package, I've also installed the mesa and glut libraries. It just sux not having all the eyecandy under xscreensaver. Do you know of any dependencys under other distributions that might make xscreensaver run better?
