Long story short. I installed LinuxMintPPC and had the same problem.
Screen would go dark. I found a post in the LinuxMint forums. >From yaboot I tried with the following line. boot: Linux video=DVI-I-1:d video=DVI-I-2:1280x1024:@75 video=TV-1:d It worked!!!! I don't know if this same thing will work for Debian issue but LinuxMintPPC is based on Debian Wheezy. I am not even sure what this line does.
