I need to prevent a box from blanking out.
In redhat8 I could succesfully put this section in the end of 
/etc/X11/XF86Config

Section "Serverflags"
	Option      "BlankTime"    "0"   
	Option      "StandbyTime"  "0"
	Option      "SuspendTime"  "0"
	Option      "OffTime"      "0"
EndSection

The result of putting in this section is that the X server will not start
By googling I found that this syntax could also be used
Section "Serverflags"
	Option      "blank time"    "0"    
	Option      "standby time"  "0"
	Option      "suspend time"  "0"
	Option      "off time"      "0"
EndSection

Same result, no X
startx gives error message: 

Option      "blank time"    "0"          server flags section keyword 
expected

I copied the serverflags section from redhat8's XF86Config, where it worked 
fine. 
What does debian demand of syntax here?
   

I've got "xset s off" in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. Works fine.
 

No, does not help.  Could be because the system setup here is rather 
special, a kiosk mode. 

I tried to use the xset command when I ran redhat on these boxes, and I 
had the same problem. The solution then was the section serverflags in 
the XF86Config file as described. So I am quite sure I have to stick to 
it and get the syntax right in the section serverflags

From linux single start and the startx  I get the error message:
Config Error: /etc/X11/XF86Config:269     (wich is the line  where the 
first option in the section serverflags starts)

_Option_ "BlankTime"   "0" 
Server flags keyword expected

Remark here that it is the Option word that is underlined in the 
message,  the underlning is made by  ^^^^^^^ these characters. Does it 
tell me that 'Option' is  an invalid keyword in this section?

The Xserver used is xserver-s3
