Do you get an error saying couldn't start 3ddeskd?
If so is 3ddeskd in your path or current dir?
If not then anything at the end of /var/log/messages?

Try a low --texturesize argument (64, 32, or 16).  I'm beginning to 
think that some cards can't handle large texturesizes.  I may be 
able to tile the gl quads so that textures sizes are no bigger then
64 but still have the same resolution.

Also, maybe I already asked, but does the xscreensaver "flipscreen3d" 
work as it should?  (in /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/)
