X will blank your screen after a given interval unless specifically told not to. You can turn the screen blanking off with the command `xset s off`. Take a look at the manpage for more info. If you want X screen blanking off by default then maybe you could add the above command to your .xinitrc file (or .xsession if you are using xdm).
