try this in your .xinit and/or .xsession

xset -dpms

it switsches the power saving off, just enter a 'man xset' in a
terminal and look out for dpms. they describe it better than i can do
here ;-)

Ah, I knew I was not alone. You can "xset s 0" when X is running, or set
Option "BlankTime" "0" in your XF86Config's "ServerFlags". If you have an
EnergyStar monitor, you can also set the StandbyTime, SuspendTime, and
OffTime in the same way.
