you could put

xset s off

in /root/.xinitrc ... somewhere above exec $CURRENTWM

you might also need this if you want to disable dpms

xset -dpms

(you can type these xset commands in a console window to try them)

or you can delete or comment the line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (and restart X)

Option "DPMS"

and/or you can add any of these lines to the Section "ServerFlags" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

# in minutes, 0 disables
Option "blank time" "0"
Option "standby time" "0"
Option "suspend time" "0"
Option "off time" "0"

This might work, too:
start - Control Panel - gxset X settings -screensaver
Deactivate DPMS there.
