Haha, that's so funny, I had to deal with the  same problem just 2
days ago (and I note, you too)!  I did not get any xorg.conf setting
working for some reason (nVidia GPU) but finally what I managed to
accomplish was turn off gnome power-management (in fact, I unchecked
all gnome services from the Startup Applications, I did not need any
of them) and I added a simple script to the Startup Application that
run the necessary stuff.  in that script I included the following:
xset s off
xset s noblank
#not sure if actually needed but xset -q shows that I prefer blanking
even after I set it to off
xset -dpms
xset dpms 0 0 0 # this I think is equivalent to your ServerFlags and
maybe redundant after the above

Only then I was able to prevent the screen from dimming.
I did not remove gnome-screensaver, however.
