Thanks David

I tried all that to no avail. I eventually put this in xorg.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option          "blank time"    "0"
        Option          "standby time"  "0"
        Option          "suspend time"  "0"
        Option          "off time"      "0"
EndSection

... which seems to have done the trick.

Cheers
