Add to your ~/.xinitrc after the comment

these two commands

xset s off
xset -dpms

If you don't have a .xinitrc, copy .xinitrc.template from ~/ or
/etc/skel.

On the console, the following in ~/.profile or even /etc/profile.local
might help:

====
setterm -blank 0
setterm -powersave off
setterm -powerdown 0
====

See 'man 1 xset' and 'man 1 setterm'.

HTH,
