Did you install from source or pacman?

Try to launch the screensaver then do ALT+F1 to see what console error messages may be there. (ALT+F7 back to your X session)

oops sorry its CTRL+ALT+F1... should show you the console running behind X... that's where the screensaver messages go (at least it does on my system).

hmm, you're using the savage driver, right?

OpenGL on savage wasn't working 99% of all cases because somehow a deadlock occurs and hangs the openGL application. This has been fixed in the most recent xf86-video-savage package.
