I tried this on my machine, which uses XFCE, and it worked for me:

Applications -> Settings -> Screensaver
Single left click on the box labeled "Mode:".  Single left click on
"Disable Screen Saver" in the drop-down box.  Close the window.

For a text console, edit /etc/kbd/config and change BLANK_TIME to 0.
This requires root privileges to edit the file and a reboot
is necessary for it to take effect.
