"i know I know"  

man setterm for lots of nifty things about terminals :


-powerdown [0-60]
        Sets  the  VESA powerdown interval in minutes. Without an argument,
        defaults to 0 (disable  powerdown). If the console is blanked or the
        monitor is in suspend mode, then the monitor will go into vsync suspend
        mode or powerdown mode respectively after this period of time has
        elapsed.


-powersave [off]
        Turns off monitor VESA powersaving features.

-blank [0-60] (virtual consoles only)
        Sets  the  interval  of  inactivity, in minutes, after which the screen
        will be automatically blanked (using APM if  available).
        Without an argument, defaults to 0 (disable console blanking).



this ought to do it.
