Screen blanking Raspberry Pi B+

I have a Raspberry Pi running headlessly as a display. Therefore, the screen should never blank.

Here's the link where I got the solution to my problem:

User jwzumwalt came up with the post, I'm just repeating it here for my own reference.

The long and the short of it: there are 2 files to be modified

#1

change two settings in /etc/kbd/config
BLANK_TIME=0
POWERDOWN_TIME=0

#2

Add these lines to /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
@xset s noblank
@xset s off
@xset -dpms

Then reboot and test.
