How about not letting it go dark in the first place? Use setterm to
disable console blanking by editing your rc.local (rc.local varies by
distro!) and add the following lines:
/usr/bin/setterm -powersave off
/usr/bin/setterm -blank 0
Next edit your xorg.conf file and make sure the ServerFlags section
contains at least the following:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
Option "DPMS" "off"
EndSection
At this point you'll be good to go after a reboot or instead of
rebooting just run setterm by hand and then restarting X. Also check
your system BIOS!! Many modern motherboards will use BIOS to blank
the display as well.
