In /etc/X11/xorg.conf add

Section "ServerFlags"
         Option      "blank time"    "0"
         Option      "standby time"  "0"
         Option      "suspend time"  "0"
         Option      "off time"      "0"
         Option      "dpms"          "false"
EndSection

Restart X11.

Did turn off that annoying follow-up, no point in posting in the relevant 
newsgroups if only one is allowed to see the replies, you will be acting like 
a multi-poster.
