I think you also need to issue "xset" commands since
gnome and X have separate power saver mechanisms.

xset s off
xset dpms 0 0 0
xset -dpms

You may also need this to keep the yet another power
saver in the console driver from turning off:

setterm -blank 0
setterm -powersave off
setterm -powerdown 0
