Hi Timo Witte,
avivotool can be used to assist in debugging this issue.  avivotool is provided with the radeontool package, so to install it run:

    sudo apt-get install radeontool

After installing it, you run it like this:

    sudo avivotool regs all > regdump_good.txt
    sudo avivotool regs all > regdump_broke.txt

Run it two times.  Once when you have a working screen (for any driver),
and once in the broken case (either from the tty console or logged into
the sick box remotely).  Attach both of those to this bug report, and we
can then forward this issue upstream.  Thanks ahead of time!

"After updating the package"

You should also review your /var/log/dpkg.log to see what other packages
might have been upgraded around the same time frame.  Often blank screen
bugs are not due to -ati but rather the kernel or mesa.  So, it would be
helpful if you would test downgrading other packages that were upgraded
at that same time, so you can definitively identify which package caused
the regression.  .debs for older versions of packages can be found on
launchpad via the Publishing History page.
