There are ways to do this from user space, but a quick hack I sometimes use is:

diff --git a/drivers/char/vt.c b/drivers/char/vt.c
index 60359c3..eda7c14 100644
--- a/drivers/char/vt.c
+++ b/drivers/char/vt.c
@@ -172,7 +172,8 @@ int do_poke_blanked_console;
 int console_blanked;

 static int vesa_blank_mode; /* 0:none 1:suspendV 2:suspendH 3:powerdown */
-static int blankinterval = 10*60*HZ;
+//static int blankinterval = 10*60*HZ;
+static int blankinterval = 0;
 static int vesa_off_interval;
