I need to prevent a box from blanking out.
In redhat8 I could succesfully put this section in the end of 
/etc/X11/XF86Config

Section "Serverflags"
    Option      "BlankTime"    "0"       Option      "StandbyTime"  "0"
    Option      "SuspendTime"  "0"
    Option      "OffTime"      "0"
EndSection
The result of putting in this section is that the X server will not 
start

By googling I found that this syntax could also be used
Section "Serverflags"
    Option      "blank time"    "0"        Option      "standby 
time"  "0"
    Option      "suspend time"  "0"
    Option      "off time"      "0"
EndSection

Same result, no X
startx gives error message:
Option      "blank time"    "0"          server flags section keyword 
expected

I copied the serverflags section from redhat8's XF86Config, where it 
worked fine. What does debian demand of syntax here?
  

I've got "xset s off" in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. Works fine.
 

Yes, you are right, and I have tried it. Correct on this system will be  
'xset s off -display ":0"'
But the problem is that anyway where I put that command to execute , be 
in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc or /home/kiosk/.xsession or wherever it does 
not work. However, if I log in remote by ssh and execute xset s off 
-display ":0"  from bash prompt, it works fine.

According to man xset, the xset command must be executed after all 
applications, so I have tried to execute it from the last line of 
/home/user/.xsession.

I had the same problem making kiosks with redhat as well, and ended up 
by solving it with the serverflags section in XF86Config.

Continuing exploring the section "serverflags" problem:
From linux single start and the startx  I get the error message:
Config Error: /etc/X11/XF86Config:269     (wich is the line  where the 
first option in the section serverflags starts)

_Option__ "BlankTime"   "0" Server flags keyword expected
Remark here that it is the Option word that is underlined in the 
message,  the underlning is made by  ^^^^^^^ these characters. Does it 
tell me that 'Option' is  an invalid keyword in this section?

The Xserver used is xserver-s3
I will be happy for advice for any solution here, being by XF86Config 
and serverflags, or how to execute xset s off
