After a lot of trial and error and reading of wikis and forum posts, I've got three screens running out of two GPUs with full acceleration throughout.
I'm running Arch Linux on a Gigabyte H81M-DS2V motherboard with an Intel Core i7-4790 featuring Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics.
Plugged in to the PCIe slot is an AMD/ATI RV710 [Radeon HD 4350/4550] graphics card.
I have xf86-video-ati and xf86-video-intel installed....
I've decided to change from Ubuntu to Debian Testing again, after a bad encounter with the Ubuntu updater. Long story short, I did not know it was going to take 4+ hours to update from 10.04 to 10.10, and when I was informed, I just killed the system power in disgust.
Anyway, as with every system I've had on this laptop ( an Acer Aspire 5536 ) I've discovered why I will never buy ATI/AMD graphics hardware again. You have two driver options - xserver-radeon and fglrx.
