There are three things that could be called screen saver
settings:
- the console blanker is controlled via
setterm -blank 0
(the 0 is minutes; 0 to disable blanking)
- the X11 basic setting is
xset s off
and the "don't use display power management at all" is
xset -dpms
- This may be overrules by a desktop environment like GNOME or
KDE, in which case you need to look at
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 0
or something similar.
- whatever X or Wayland screensaver you use to draw
fancy toasters or mazes will have its own command, e.g.
xscreensaver-command --exit
-dsr-
