It hung. no reaction from console, no access from network, nothing at 
all, even pinging computer was unsuccessful.

I installed xf-98-video-ati-ums after I encountered hard lockup with 
7.4.0 and pressed reset on computer:
booted to single,
fsck-ed all fs, (btw lost a .history file, as usual)
make -C /usr/ports/install in x11-dricers/xf86-video-ati-ums
then
startx
and black screen with 1920x1200 at 60 on my monitor. c-a-f1 doesn't work

so, no previous garbage from xf86-video-ati in memory and card, I suppose
