I did have to make a small modification for my Linux Mint 13 machine to keep it from blanking the screen after a minute or so; here’s the command I used:

/usr/sbin/xlock -enablesaver -resetsaver -mode blank -geometry 0x0 -timeout 1

Pretty much the same thing, except to add flags to disable the screen saver and disable screen saver reset, and to change the mode from “image” to “blank”.
