Debian 8:

uname -a
Linux debian 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.39-1+deb8u2 (2017-03-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux
lspci -nn | grep '\[03'
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0a16] (rev 0b)
0a:00.0 Display controller [0380]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Topaz PRO [Radeon R5 M255] [1002:6901]

  1. Add "contrib" and "non-free" components to /etc/apt/sources.list:
    deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

  2. Update the list of available packages. Install the appropriate linux-headers and fglrx-driver packages:
    aptitude update
    aptitude -r install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') fglrx-driver

  3. Set ATI GPU as primary video device:
    aticonfig --px-dgpu

  4. Create an Xorg server configuration file:
    aticonfig --initial

  5. Restart your system to enable the radeon blacklist.

  6. Check fglrxinfo output:
    fglrxinfo
    display: :0 screen: 0
    OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
    OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon R5 M255
    OpenGL version string: 4.5.13399 Compatibility Profile Context 15.201.1151

I think after that LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=fglrx vainfo should work, but not on my laptop(HP ProBook 470 G2) because i have only intel vga controller.
