Jon....I'll bet it's either in your /etc/X11/XF86Config file
or your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file, depending on which
release of XFree86 you're using. Find and comment out or
remove the below lines in /etc/X11/XF86Config and
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 respectively and your unwanted
screen-blanking behavior should stop.
Option "power_saver"
Option "DPMS"
