Were you running MC in TDE? Have you set its screen power save to maximum 120
minutes (as I do)?
Have you tried booting with consoleblank=0 on kernel cmdline?
Have you tried anything like xorg.conf for dpms? e.g.
/etc/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "DefaultMonitor"
Option "DPMS" "off"
EndSection
Have you tried setting BIOS suspend mode to S1 instead of (typical default) S3?
