On my Elitebook 6930p (Lucid Lynx, ATI Radeon, proprietary drivers), I was able to get rid of the problem using the instructions found here:

In short, I had to install the uvesafb driver and do some modifications to the grub configuration and the initrd image.
The relevant portions of my /etc/default/grub now look like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1152x864-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" vga=0x0356" GRUB_LINUX16=true GRUB_GFXMODE=1152x864
