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.
