fglrx still uses the intel card for display, it just hacks a bunch of stuff
under the covers rather than using the PRIME infrastructure.

Please remove your xorg config completely.  You shouldn't need one, and some
older xservers didn't properly handle multi-GPU with one in place.

Please attach your dmesg output from boot without starting X.

You may be hitting a regression in 4.5 that was recently fixed.  Please try
appending radeon.runpm=0 to the kernel command line in grub.
