Fixed in aty128fb and three other places in the patch below. I don't own
the hardware and can't test it myself. Thus I'd like you, or someone
else, to test it.

Not exactly. It once checks for (blank) and once for (!blank). If you
look at the code, removing th second call would only unblank it on some
chips.
