How to get X Windows to stop blanking out



I want to have X Windows stop blanking out the screen after some idle time.
I've tried things like "xset s 0 0" and "xset s noblank", but this seems to
have no effect towards my goal. I want to have the original screen just
stay on there indefinitely. I don't want it to switch to a screensaver,
either.
