I have installed Slitaz 3.0 (Openbox with XVESA driver)!
After some minutes (~5min.) the display is turned off.
How can i configure it, that the display is always on?

Regards,
Student

But if you move the mouse or click on the keyboard it comes back in a second?

open /etc/slim.conf with nano or leafpad as root

xserver_arguments= change dpms to -dpms

and restartx

This is actually something I was looking for, so thanks gibor. Now I have a fully functional screensaver with xautolock and xlockmore :)

You may need to restart for it to take effect.
