By "hanged", do you mean the computer doesn't react to keyboard/mouse
events? Did you try to reach it from the network?

If you tried to start X with xf86-video-ati installed and then you
installed xf86-video-ati-ums, you need to reboot. This is because the
kernel driver is loaded and can't be unloaded without a reboot.

Yes, it loads a module called "radeondrm".

Yes, it will work.
