In the K2 this is handled by powerd daemon, and the default is ten minutes:

From /etc/powerd.conf:
Code:
## After t1_timeout seconds of inactivity, system goes to screen saver
t1_timeout: 600
I would imagine the DX is setup similarly.

Unfortunately, by increasing this value, your battery is more likely to run down faster -- 60 seconds after the screen saver kicks in, the system goes into suspend mode, which slows the CPU and saves battery.

This could be hacked, but the above solutions of not blanking the screen (if ever implemented by amazon) would be much much better.
