Olivier Caro, given you have the latest BIOS, we can continue to pursue it as a driver bug, and let an upstream developer make the call if there is nothing that can be done on the driver side.
Despite this, a couple of follow up questions: 1) If you remove the Radeon HD 6670 so you only have the R9 290 installed, does this change anything? 2) With just the R9 290 installed, does using fglrx provide a WORKAROUND following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD ? ** Description changed: The display connected on my R9 290 through DisplayPort connection turns black during boot and never comes back again. According to the power led, it is up and does not turn into power saving mode. According to xorg.0.log and System Settings / Display the display is perfectly detected. This display worked perfectly fine using the same DisplayPort cable, running the same driver on my Radeon HD 6670. - Description: Ubuntu 15.04 - Release: 15.04 - --- + I plugged the R9 290 into a Asus M2NPV-VM based PC running Ubuntu + 14.04.3 (3.13.0-63-generic).
