no screensaver leopard

[cms2]

I can't seem to make my screensaver come on. Since upgrading to Leopard (a few minor kinks, but nothing too major, btw) when it's time for my screensaver to come on, the screen simply goes to sleep. It does this no matter how long a delay I set for sleep. Also, I have unchecked the box "dim display before sleep" under energy saver options. nothing seems to work. I currently have the screensaver set to start after five minutes of inactivity, and the screen to sleep after 25 min. It's not a big deal... it's just that apple has such pretty screensavers, you know? I miss 'em.

Can you turn the screen saver on at all, use preview or corners?

yes, actually. both preview and the hot corner I have assigned work. It's just when the computer is inactive long enough for the screensaver to come on by itself. Instead, it just goes dark.
