Don't have a detailed answer, but I was presented with the same problem, also have an ATI card, and it was related to the newer versions of Ubuntu automatically installing and enabling compiz upon boot.

Sorry, don't have the exact solution as it has to do with booting into a command line and removing compiz, but if you go into the audio and video forum, and do a search on "white screen", you'll find some threads with the details.
