The following commands work for my Jessie system:

Code: Select all

xset s noblank
xset s off
xset -dpms
You need to boot to the GUI desktop, open a terminal window and type them in. If these work, follow the instructions for making them work on boot / reboot, otherwise you need to type them in again next time you start your Pi
