Have you looked at xset(1)?  X will blank your screen after a given
interval unless specifically told not to.  You can turn the screen
blanking off with the command `xset s off`.  Take a look at the manpage
for more info.  If you want X screen blanking off by default then maybe
you could add the above command to your .xinitrc file (or .xsession if
you are using xdm).
