This is a known issue. Another workaround is to bring backlight all the
way down to 0 and back up a few times until the screen "catches up". The
problem has something to do with the LCD panel powerup sequence.
Unfortunately, I don't have any real informations about what should be
done in that area, and every time I tweak that code to fix some
machines, I break others. Apparently all panel types need a different
seuqnce for beeing properly powered up but I don't have those
informations.
If you want to play around, maybe tweak with the code in
radeonfb_unblank that deals with LVDS_GEN_CNTL bits and see if you can
get it to work more reliably by adding delays here or there...
