Monitor automaticly blanks out after a certian amount of time

[tuxxman]

I have a monitor hooked up to my server displaying:
tail -f /var/log/apache2/access_logs
and i want it to stay on until i kill the power on it but it turns off after about 5-10mins of non-use

any way of doing this?
i've been googling for about 3 days now and cant find squat

Check your BIOS settings... it's probably a setting in there doing it.

also see if your X config file has Option "dpms" #Display Power Management System .

Your monitor might be going out, cause I had an old monitor and it would go out after 20min of use or non-use
