I have had problems with screensaver in recent versions of Fedora, and
ha given up on it and just went with the standard blank screen. I have
found that with Fedora 20, it works fine.

# yum install xscreensaver

And use Screensaver to configure it. I also used the power settings to
set blank screen to never.
