On my edgy box something similar occurs, but when my monitor is
switched OFF while booting, everything works all-right when switching
on my monitor after X is initialized.
My monitor is an 17inch iiyama, and I don't know how specific this
problem is for my monitor.

In any case: I could not find a solution and switched back to the
radeon drivers. If you do find a solution I would be very interested!
