I found that X screen saver timeout was set to 600 (10 min). Changing it to 0 
with xset fixed display in X.
But questions remain:
Why gnome-screensaver-preferences tool does not change X screensaver timeout 
value?
How do I change the default value, so screen never goes blank, without using 
xset every time?
What do I need to change to disable screen blanking in bare console, i.e. 
during fsck checks? So screen NEVER EVER goes blank?
How screen blanking in console and X are interconnected?
