amd radeon hd 8790m on debian wheezy

Bonjour,

I try to use the amd driver for this card (radeon hd 8790m) on debian
wheezy (7.5).

lspci returns 2 VGA lines:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 06)

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI
Mars [Radeon HD 8790M]

I downloaded the proprietary driver from amd website and it compiled and
installed without any problems (no errors or warning in logs) but it
doesn't work.

As far as I understand, the problem comes from the Intel Corporation
Haswell Integrated Graphics Controller: here is the Xorg.0.log:
