I had the same problem as the OP below.  I just tried the solution
offered above and it is working for me.  I had also noted an issue
with power saving being enabled/disabled.  Because my monitor takes so
long to warm up and look good I always disable powersaving.  As noted
by others, the screensaver would never kick on unless power saving was
enabled.
