You are not alone with your problem.
I can't make the problem go away completely, but I found a way to recover from the white screen.
If you install the Omega drivers, you get the ATI Tray tools. With the ATI Tray tools, you can assign hot keys which can be bound to do different things. Such as "Turn monitor off". Now, when your screen goes white, just hit the key combination that you assigned for "Turn monitor off", and when the screen goes black, move the mouse a little. Blink, your screen comes back ok. Obviously, you'll want to have the ATI Tray tools to load during bootup.
Fujitsu should release a display driver that fixes this issue. I'm pretty sure its just a software bug. I'd say the Omega drivers are a bit worse off than the original ones, at least in terms of stability, so if you can find a way to make the ATI tray tools work with the original display driver, you'll probably see less of those white-screen issues than with the Omegas. And please let us know if you find a better solution than just using the Omegas.
