Use:
xset s 0 to switch it off (replace 0 by the number of ms you want to modify the deactivation time).
Don't forget to add this command to your .xinitrc if you want to save it.

You are right fatal error: it's seconds and not ms.

To be more precise the xset s option accepts up to two numerical parameters (The length and period parameters). If only one numerical parameter is given, it will be used for the length. The lenght determines how long the server must be inactive for screen saving to activate, and the period determines the period to change the background pattern to avoid burn in. Of course when setting the lenght to 0 or off there is no need to modify the period.
