It's kind of difficult to remove nonfree drivers on manjaro...
After removing video-catalyst I was needed to reinstall xf86-video-ati, xorg-server
and delete line in /etc/modprobe.d/mhwd-gpu.conf blacklist radeon
I think this all supposed to be automated. At least removing radeon from blacklist...

Catalyst is a special case. It is not recommended to uninstall it when already done. That driver needs a special Xorg-Server, which is dated. So an easy switch is a little difficult to accomplish. Soon or later this driver will be dropped anyway.
