I think you want (off the top of my head) xset s noblank in a gdm init
script. Probably in /etc/gdm/Init/default (at least that's where the
script is in debian iirc). If your screen is actually turning off power
saving style then you'll want to look for dpms stuff in your X config
file, or you may be able to control that with xset as well.
