None at all ?
Not even the basic ones, such as Banner, Bouboule, Lines or Swarm ?
What about preview mode in the Kcontrol screensavers applet - does
that work ?
Many people have had a variety of problems with the KDE screensavers
in Debian, but nobody had *nothing-happening-at-all* IIRC.
Tell us which KDE screensaver-related packages you have installed.
I have these packages installed, and my screensavers work :
ii kscreensaver 3.1.4-0woody1 screen savers released
with KDE
ii xscreensaver 3.34-3 Automatic screensaver for X
ii xscreensaver-gl 3.34-3 GL(Mesa) screenhacks for
xscreensaver
ii xscreensaver-nognome 3.34-3 Gtk only binaries for
xscreensaver
You may find a message I posted here in March useful - it details some
of the problems some of us have found with the screensaver packages :

Have you tried using the "File | Save Current Volumes" in Kmix ?
