I went through that for years thinking it was an ATI driver problem,
but finally found it was the display itself (in my case a
Westinghouse Digital HDTV monitor). I found if I used a different
input on the monitor, the blanking went away.
ok, i guess i can try another display. curiously, i've connected
the same display to the output of my beagleboard, and the splash
screen of the u-boot bootloader shows up crisp and solid. and stays
there.

p.s. the beagle board (
beagleboard.org) has an HDMI-format output
*connector*, but outputs only DVI-D. i was simply pointing out that
*that* signal has no trouble on that display.
