In order to install xscreensaver, you must install xscreensaver-base, xscreensaver-extras, xscreensaver-gl-extras. Then you must remove gnome-screensaver by "yum -y remove gnome-screensaver". When you go to "System-Preferences-Screensaver", you will find that the gnome-screensaver is no longer there. I hope that this helps.
