There are three things that could be called screen saver
settings:

- the console blanker is controlled via
	setterm -blank 0
	(the 0 is minutes; 0 to disable blanking)

- the X11 basic setting is 
	xset s off
and the "don't use display power management at all" is
	xset -dpms

- This may be overrules by a desktop environment like GNOME or
KDE, in which case you need to look at
	gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 0
or something similar.

- whatever X or Wayland screensaver you use to draw
fancy toasters or mazes will have its own command, e.g.
	xscreensaver-command --exit
