fglrx-experimental-13 builds and works correctly here:
:~$ dkms status
fglrx-experimental-13, 13.300, 3.11.0-15-generic, x86_64: installed
The driver is also correctly detected:
:~$ jockey-text --list
xorg:fglrx_experimental_13 - ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver
(**experimental** beta) (Proprietary, Enabled, Not in use)
Note: it's marked as "Not in use" only because of a long standing bug in
jockey which is definitely not a regression. It doesn't affect the
functioning of the driver in any way.
fglrx-pxpress works correctly. I've tested the updates with one GPU, and
with two GPUs. All the available GPUs are enabled on boot.

Bug description:
SRU request:
Please accept the following packages in precise-proposed.
fglrx-pxpress
jockey
fglrx-installer-experimental-13
[Rationale]
This is the result of the HWE effort to enable AMD Kaveri GPUs, and systems
with more than one AMD GPU. This will become more common now that AMD APUs can
be combined with AMD GPUs.
[Impact]
Without this work, AMD Kaveri GPUs won't work properly and users won't be
able to make use of all the AMD GPUs in their system.
[Test Case]
After installing the update, users should be able to boot the system as
usual, with no regressions of any kind.
* Systems with a single AMD card: there won't be any change except
that Kaveri GPUs will be detected and will work properly.
* Systems with two or more AMD GPUs: fglrx-pxpress will try to enable
all the available AMD GPUs and will also detect and reconfigure X when
users remove one of the cards.
[Regression Potential]
Low. fglrx-installer-experimental-13 is not automatically installed, and
fglrx-pxpress is installed only when dealing with a multi GPU system.
Furthermore the change in Jockey is minimal, and only extends what we mean by
hybrid graphics, so as to make sure that fglrx-pxpress is installed also when
dealing with systems with multiple AMD GPUs.
