Blanktime, StandbyTime, SuspendTime and OffTime in the
"Screen" section of /etc/X11/XF86Config.
See man XF86Config. Note that this has never worked
perfectly for me. My monitor will go into standby and
suspend, but doesn't see to always do it at the times
I have set.
Note also, that this will only work if and while you
are running X. Without X (just running at a command
prompt with no windowing environment) the screen will
just blank. This blanking is done in the kernel
config I think. Can't help you with that.
The kernel blanking will also take effect while
running X. This means that if you set BlankTime to
something longer than the kernel's blanktime, or don't
set it at all, you still going to get the kernel
blanking, unless someone else can tell you how to
change the default blanking that Linux does without X.
HTH.
