I've done a similar setup, add in your xorg.conf
Section "ServerLayout"
[...]
Option "blank time" "0"
Option "standby time" "0"
Option "suspend time" "0"
Option "off time" "0"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
[...]
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
So far it works with xorg 7.4

There's this old saying: "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach
