I don't know what else to provide. Now questions:

1) Why there is no providers for xrandr?
2) Back to old Mint (17.0) fglrx was working perfectly fine, I had option to freely switch graphics, work constantly either on intel or radeon etc - is there a chance to get this back and set up here?
3) Around half year ago, or more, Vi0l0 drivers were pretty much useless for my setup, anyone know if this changed?

Thanks for help whoever may send some.
Cheers

if there's no X org log in /var/log , they should be here : ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.log
(it's where rootless X puts logs since /var/log is not writable for non-root user).

Your system is running a hybrid graphics setup, check https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hybrid_graphics .
The PRIME page it links to has the info you need.
First step is to move that 10-radeon.conf file , PRIME setups rely on X autodetection a LOT.

Apart from downgrading Xorg catalyst drivers now also require you to use a customized mesa (stock mesa uses libglvnd support and catalyst can't deal with that at all).
