To disable blanking for the text consoles: setterm -blank 0
To disable X server screen blanking: xset s off
To get a (great!) screensaver for X, install the xscreensaver package and
add the following to your ~/.xsession (for XDM) or equivalent for startx
(.xinitrc? not sure what Debian uses):
xset s off
xscreensaver &
These lines should precede the one that execs your window manager.
My .xsession is:
===========================
#!/bin/sh
xset s off
xscreensaver &
exec fvwm2
===========================
