I did not try ati-drivers. Her card is a RV505 (Radeon X1550 Series) which is no longer supported by current ati-drivers. Older drivers might still work for a while, but only with kernels< 2.6.29. And I suspect the problem is not the driver itself, because radeon does not work, too, and I also had similar problems of a blank screen with an ATI card and different drivers.
For the radeon X driver (which *is* the best choice for the X1000 series) make sure you also have radeon in-kernel support enabled.
