I have the same problem. I don't find it very annoying as it appears not so much and disappears when switching from or to X to the opposite. It appears sometimes at boot so I guess it's more a problem with the frame buffer support.
Looks like another reason to get some info from ATI. Is there a contact where we can send request or can we organize a group request? (The first problem is the suspend/resume one.) Also about the powerbook howto, I am trying to collect information on my page : http://www.cattlegrid.net/~christophe/titanium/ which is not yet complete but where I try to be specific enough to be helpful for new TiBook owners. I would be happy to add your tips. I will soon add some keyboard tips from Vincent Beffara.
