xf86-video-ati was recently updated, together with xf86-video-amdgpu, to 
provide better support for more modern graphics cards utilizing the new 
drm-kmod drivers.  Unfortunately there were some regressions when using 
the old base driver or drm-legacy-kmod, which prompted us to create 
xf86-video-ati-legacy which is at the version xf86-video-ati was before 
the update.  There's more information about this issue here:
