yum -y install xscreensaver-gl-extras xscreensaver-extras
That is if you do not mind the lack of configuring the screensavers with 
gnome-screensaver. Otherwise you can more precisely control the 
screensavers with xscreensaver-base.

Add
yum -y install xscreensaver-base
if you want the more precise control of which screensavers you want to 
cycle.

You should now have two screensaver entries in the menu. You would want 
the one with the flame with the background of a monitor screen.

yum erase gnome-screensaver
afterwards if you like xscreensaver-base better and do not plan on you 
or any other user of the computer wanting the gnome-screensaver 
interface to manage the screensavers.

Personally, I like xscreensaver-base and its configuration interface 
better. Lately though, I use the blank screen mostly, so it does not 
matter much for the laptop.
