If yo do xset q it will show you the current screen saver settings. Note that timeout is set for 600 which is 10 minutes.

I ran xset s off

rerun xset q and the timeout will be 0 which means that the screensaver is disabled.

Hope it works for you.

Your tip worked for me. Thanks

Edit the .xinitrc file in your home dir and insert:

xset s off &

for example at the beginning of the file.
This works!
