My screen blanks off after 10 minutes of inactivity. I do not use screensaver, xset -dpms doesn't help either. How can I investigate this problem further?

What's the output of 'xset -q'? Are you using any DE?
Edit: (Just to make sure) Are you talking about X or tty?

See if 'xset s off' helps.

It works. But how do I make these changes permanent?

write it in .xinitrc before exec i3

Read the wiki page that karol linked to. In particular the part at the very beginning about creating an xorg.conf.d config.

I think both should work, although I recall a situation where a user said that ~/.xinitrc way didn't work with his setup.

Also, I guess if you want to have these settings for your user, but not necessarily globally, the xinitrc would be a better place to put things. I often don't think about these things since I am the only one who uses my machines.

.xinitrc doesn't work. If I write xset options there, then X doesn't start at all. And it looks like /xorg.conf.d/ settings don't seem to work.

That sounds like something is really wrong. Did you end your command with an ampersand?
xset s off &
Anyway it would be interesting to check why your X session doesn't want to start when you place the xset command into your .xinitrc.
You might also check out this thread to see if you might need to change the order of some of your commands in .xinitrc
