-ubuntu 13.10-
i have two ATI video cards. Onboard RS690 (x1200) and PCIe R9-290
RS690 only works with radeon open source since Amd doesnt support it anymore
R9 only works with new ati drivers (i try with catalyst 13.12) 

lspci | grep VGA  
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RS690 [Radeon X1200]
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Hawaii PRO [Radeon R9 290]

each card works well individually in a fresh installation
all attempts for work together were disastrous, so the question is:

how to install RADEON Open Source and Ati Catalyst (fglrx) together ??

I am sorry to say, but you can't basically. The only thing I could imagine is if you have vt-d to use one in a xen vm.

The onboard graphics doesn't work when you are using your R9 290:

Use the following command for hybrid graphics:

sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-pxpress

PS: never use open drivers because they are very broken (eg: on laptops they overheat them greatly)
