Correction, its the -blank flag =)
$ setterm -blank 0
should turn it off
>From the man page:
-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).
