I noticed that after 10 minutes of inactivity, my screen went blank.
Xscreensaver is not loaded and of-course gnome-power-management is not loaded.
Did some research and found "X" enables some kind of Display Power Management.

I found a solution via google:
Code:
gksu leafpad /etc/X11/xorg.conf


Add the following:

Code:
Section "ServerFlags"
            Option "BlankTime" "0" #This blanks screen; 0=Do not blank
            Option "StandbyTime" "0" #This is DPMS; 0=Do not put in standby after n min
            Option "SuspendTime" "0" #DPMS; 0=Do not put in suspend after n min
            Option "OffTime" "0" #DPMS; 0=Do not shut Off after n min
EndSection


Note: If you already have a "ServerFlags" section, just add the "Option" lines before "EndSection"

I hope this helps.
