I have uploaded a modified version of the 2.8.0 Buster .iso image
after being informed that it still had the default screen blanker and
(even more inappropriately for a CNC machine controller) the
screen-locker.
An install from the new .iso file has been sat overnight here without
blanking the screen or locking.
To disable screen blanking on an already-installed system I would suggest:
1) Navigate to /etc/xdg/autostart and delete the files
light-locker.desktop and xscreensaver.desktop
2) Create a file "10-monitor.conf" in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
directory (you might need to create the directory) containing the
following:
------------------8<-------------------------------
# Attempt to turn off all screensavers and screen blanking.
# You don't want that on a CNC controller
Section "Extensions"
Option "DPMS" "Disable"

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "ServerLayout0"
EndSection
