I am using Debian wheezy and X11 on x86-64. I noticed that after five
minutes with no input or so, my screen is blacked. How can I disable
this feature? I DO have xset -dpms s off in my .xsession BTW., but this
does not help.

Check if your current settings are okay ("xset -q"). Besides, what VGA
driver are you using?

There's a nice article about power management options with a bunch of
command line samples at the ArchLinux wiki:
