Not sure if this is any help but to keep the diosplay alive no matter what I have been using this for a long time. Create the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-xorg.conf and put this in it... Section "ServerFlags" Option "BlankTime" "0" Option "StandbyTime" "0" Option "SuspendTime" "0" Option "OffTime" "0" EndSection -- Infinity: A concept for those who cannot comprehend the big picture.

This is correct. KDE might still enable DPMS again, so you need to make sure it doesn't touch it.

I may be horribly wrong, but did you try System Settings -> Power Management in KDE?
