Hey, Ruslan, I have a dv6-3160us with the same graphic cards: 4250 and 
5650. I've tried every Ubuntu version and Catalyst version and I 
couldn't make the 5650 works on Linux with proprietary drivers. I use 
Ubuntu 12.04 and Catalyst 12.04 and the 4250 works perfect (only that 
card). It's the way I use this computer.

Once, I could boot on 5650 with open source drivers... but I need 3D 
acceleration. CONCLUSION: 5650 with open source drivers was slower than 
4250 with proprietary drivers.

I'm going to do the VERY LAST test installing Ubuntu 13.10 and the last 
version of Catalyst (13.12 and 14.3beta) and see. But I have no hope at all.

Do you have any other information about this fucking laptop and using 
both cards?

Thanks, man.
