"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.
