I'm sorry but i can't understand if you tried it or just asking?
The current kernel at sid is 3.10 and fglrx-driver 13.4, acording with
phoronix[1][2][3], the kernel will work, but for the driver it doesn't
see to be prepare to the HD8670D but the 13.8 might work [4].
The fglrx-driver 13.8 is in experimental, or perhaps download from amd.
Hope it helps!
PS: i didn't search in the radeon open source to see if it work with
hd8670D.
