Deactivate Screensaver

Is there a way, to deactivate the Shell Screensaver (blank screen) in Debian 3.0? I use the bash.

Thanks

Hi,
I use SuSE 8.0

I also tried this with

setterm -blank 0

but this is only saved for the current session.
When i reboot the machine, the screensaver is enabled again.

is there a config-file, where i can disable the screensaver?

thanks in advance

sorry, i forgot to notify that i want to deactivate the screensaver
of the CONSOLE or BASH-screensaver (or however this blank screen is named)

thanks in advance
