HP computers with Intel and ATI/AMD switchable graphics

Hi,
Product Name: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex
Product Number : LM610EA#A2N
From HP website, I have downloaded :
'ATI Radeon Graphics Driver_ Software Packaging Number()_Driver Packaging Version 8.810.4.1000(2010)'
'AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver_ Software Packaging Number(SP55092)_Driver Packaging Version 8.882.2.3000'
I have installed a new version of Windows 7, and then got these adapters before installing any drivres::
I have installed ''ATI Radeon Graphics Driver_ Version 8.810.4.1000". However, while installing ''ATI Radeon Graphics Driver' packaging version 8.810.4.1000(2010)' on my laptop, I found that that 'ATI adapter driver' is in the packgage as in this screen shot.
Then, after installation completed, the device manager was:
I have removed the existing drivers to where I have it down to 2 VGA adapters and the big icon screen I describe in the first screen shot, then install the 'AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver_ Software Packaging Number(SP55092)_Driver Packaging Version 8.882.2.3000'.
However, when I have installed 'AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver_ Software Packaging Number(SP55092)_Driver Packaging Version 8.882.2.3000', I found that AMD adpater driver is in the packgage as in this screen shot.
After installation completed, then the device manager became:
If we make a comparission between two installations, we will find that
In the first installation:
Mobile Intel(R) HD Graphics
Radeon(TM) HD 6770M.
In the second installtion:
Intel(R) HD Graphics Family.
Radeon(TM) HD 6770M.
Thus, my question is as follows:
First: is there any difference between 'Mobile Intel(R) HD Graphics' and 'Intel(R) HD Graphics Family.'
Second: Why is 'ATI Adapter driver' shown in the first installation, and in the second "AMD adapter driver", however, in either instllation, 'Radeon(TM) HD 6770M' and 'Intel graphics' were installed? In other words, neither 'ATI' is listed in the device manager nor 'AMD' listed on the device manager.

Thanks a lot,
you asked me about sending my SN before and now you are asking me about what the Guest machine model I have is. I think the Guest machine model will do nothing with what I am looking for. No problem with the Guest machine model I have if you have a look again at that thread of mine.
But I am really so afraid to say that you didn't take some of your precious time out to either read my enquiry in this thread or in the other one mentioned to at this thread.
Also, if you checked again my firt post, you will see that I've been asking why while I was installing ATI Radeon Graphics, there was ATI adapter driver.
However, when I was installing 'AMD HIgh Definitioni Graphics', there was 'AMD adapter driver'
Simply, if you have kindly a look again at my very post at this thread you understand me well that I don't have any problem with installing the latest AMD driver found in HP website, however, all AMD drivers found in HP website are not newer than what I downloaded two yeras and a half ago.
I think that HP people don't keep abreast with updating their drivers and software.
I downloaded my drivers and software form HP about two years and a half ago, but when I now visited the HP website, I found no drivers newer than what I downloaded two years and a half.

HP 15-n086sl problems with windows and drivers amd

Hello to all,
I have a problem with my HP 15 - n086sl .
With native Windows 8 did not.
the problem is the following :
moving from windows 8 to 8.1 I lose the switch graphics cards.
I mean : if I click with the mouse on "configure switchable graphics cards " I get out of a window that says " Unable to start Catalyst Control Center. currently there are no other settings to configure with CCC"
I tried to update the drivers with the ones on the HP site for windows 8.1 , but nothing changes .
From " Device Manager " I noticed that the drivers you have installed AUTOMATIC moving from windows 8 to 8.1 are the same version as on the hp website .
[url=http://postimg.org/image/t3xa7aem3/][img]http://s17.postimg.org/t3xa7aem3/driv.jpg[/img][/url]
If I install the drivers from the AMD website I have the following problems :
the switch returns to work but hibernation no longer works and if the screen of the PC goes into standby by moving the mouse or pressing both buttons it never recovers . I have to turn off the computer by holding down the button.
I've done several searches for the web, even within the forum but have not found the solution.
Will you help me ?
Sorry for my English.

Sorry for the delay!
I am Italian and hp does not offer more support than this forum.
How should I do?

Windows 8 Consumer Preview: AMD Switchable Graphics - Unswitchable

Hello everyone,
I have a HP Pavillion dv6-6004tx notebook computer, and I recently upgraded it to the Windows 8 Consumer Preview (Build 8250). I would like some troubleshooting from those who have/are experiencing this and may have found a way around it.
As far as the specs of my computer goes:
Intel Core i7-2720QM
6 GB DDR3 RAM
64-Bit OS
AMD Radeon HD 6700M
Intel Graphics Family
The problem lies within my display drivers. Some of you may also have a Switchable Graphics feature installed in your computers. But for those who don't, basically what it is is a feature that allows one to switch their display adaptor from a Power-Saving GPU to a High-Performance GPU, and vice versa.
In my case, as you can see above, the High-Performance GPU is the Radeon 6700M, while the Power-saving GPU is the integrated Intel one. My problem deals with not being able to switch back and forth between them, like I was able to back on Windows 7. As this is a feature of AMD Catalyst Control Center, I have searched their website and they actually have a supported driver version for Windows 8 CP, albeit it still being a beta and sometimes glitchy.
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/Windows8ConsumerPreviewDrivers.aspx
(As you can see, my model: AMD Radeon HD 6000M Series is listed)
After installing the Control Center, I restarted and a pop-up notifcation tells me that:
"The Catalyst Control Center is not supported by the driver version of your enabled graphics adapter. Please update your AMD graphics driver, or enable your AMD adapter using the Displays Manager."
I found this odd at first, as my model clearly was listed. But after some inferencing, I realized that my computer must be running on the integrated Intel graphics by default. This was further reinforced when I tried playing some games and other applications (It would be slightly choppy - as experienced before when I had forgotten to switch back onto High-Performance GPU).
The AMD Radeon card used to have an error (The device won't start. Code: 10) under device manager, but with a fresh install of the driver obtained from AMD, it seems to be working fine. However, my computer is still using the Intel card by default, and I have no way of switching to the other GPU as Catalyst will not start.
Has anyone found a way around this?
This question was solved.

I'll give you a two way to make it work!!!! There is so much incompatibilities with the FIRST METHOD listed, you won't get use a Intel (less power consuming card) GPU to work after the changes! you've got to wait till HP let's it work properly or deal with power hungry AMD GPU even in battery mode .
THE SECOND METHOD listed works without any problem with compatibility in any apps BUT IT IS Require pace and order ( may be exhaustive for newbie's, no worries listed below got all the info you need to make it work)
SO the first option:
NOTE:THIS WILL TRIGER THE OUTCONTROL EVENTS SO PRECAUTION METHODS I WILL ADVISE FURTHER AS WE GO STEP BY STEP _ DOWNLOAD CHROME IF YOU RUNNING INTERNET EXPLORER ( GRAPHIC CARD WILL WORK WITH GAMES BUT NOT WITH METRO APPS THEY WILL NOT CRASH JUST NOT LAUNCH
ALL THE METHODS BELOW TESTED BY MYSELF AND GET WORKED YET MANY INCOMPATIBILIES STILL WILL REMAIN USE IT ON YOUR OWN RISK!
as i can tell all the games working properly yet battlefield 3 won't launch
1. AT first make sure that windows UPDATE IS SWITCH OFF or let you choose to download and instal (not automaticly or it will update ur device (at device manager) without ur permision and all eforts are gone!
2.uninstall AMD Catalyst from "program and components" at control panel, then uninstal all the devices Intel and AMD at device manager at the control panel (check unistal driver at intel HD driver)
3.reboot! after reboot download this http://www2.ati.com/drivers/hotfix/win8/amd_catalyst_win8_consumer_preview_[rc10].exe
and this
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp53001-53500/sp53025.exe - 300mb
4. instal sp53025.exe at windows 7 compatibility mode (it'll unpack by default in C:/SWsetup)
then start the istalation make sure u choose a "custom" , THIS IS CRUCIAL - uncheck the CATALYST (check all the rest intell driver amd driver ect.) after the instalation do not reboot
5. Next start the instalation of the windows 8 consumer preview driver from AMD.
uncheck all the rest ( after the sp53025 there will be only AMD driver (check/uncheck) and the catalyst (check/uncheck) box available) uncheck the AMD driver and install only the CATALYST driver!!!!
Reboot! Enjoy !!! There will be no CATALYST(only the intel preference and settings where the CATALYST should've be) at the right mouse click but switchable graphic is now awailable LIKE THIS
Unfortunately you'll won't be available to choose between the INTEL and AMD ! AMD is now working by default
All the .exe will now recognize 6770m
AND METRO APPS WON"T WORK!!!!!!! AS internet explorer will crash as you'll open it
SECOND METHOD IF THE FIRST FAILS (WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE IF HANDS ARE STRAIGHT MORE OR LESS)
FURTHER IS TESTED!
THIS METHOD EXCLUDE THE METRO APPS CRASH AND ALL THE REST INCOMPATIBILITIES WITH EVERY EXECUTABLE PROGRAMS AND GAMES!!!!
Note: Requires knowledge to sign your own drivers, disable signing enforcement at boot and modding some inf files.
I am not responsible for any damage that may arise. This guide is not exhaustive.
Requirements:
.NET Framework 3.5 -- Can be enabled within Windows 8, in "Turn Windows features on or off"
Windows Driver Kit (WDK) -- Can be downloaded from here
Configure Windows Update to only "Download updates but let me choose wether to install them", and hide both Intel and AMD updates. This is to prevent our driver be updated by Windows.
1.Download the latest switchable graphics drivers from this site: leshcat blog IT Tips & Tricks: Catalyst 12.3 Pre-WHQL UnifL for Switchable Graphics
2. Run the installer that will extract the contents of the file, by default it will ask you to disable "Signing enforcement of Windows", you will know that it is working after rebooting because a "Test Mode" watermark is added to the desktop, above "Windows 8 Consumer Preview".
3. At this moment, do not run the AMD installer yet. We need to modify some files. By default, the driver will be extracted to "C:\Drivers\Catalyst 12.3 Pre-WHQL UnifL".
4. Go to this directory, and open the following file "Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF\C7133662.inf"
Do the following changes:
In the section [Version] add:
Code:
[Version]
CatalogFile=C7133662.CAT
There is a section that has the listing of all the supported cards. Rename it from "[ATI.Mfg.NTamd64.6.1]" to "[ATI.Mfg.NTamd64.6.2]"
It should look like this:
Code:
[Manufacturer]
%ATI% = ATI.Mfg, NTamd64.6.1, NTamd64.6.2
[ATI.Mfg.NTamd64.6.2]
"%AMD68F2.1%" = ati2mtag_VancouverC_PXAI, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_68F2
"%AMD9519.1%" = ati2mtag_VancouverC_PXAI, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9519
5. Follow this guide to Test-Sign a Driver Package. (This guide is generic)
6. After the previous step, you should have a Catalog file and the inf file we modified previously.
7. Now proceed to run the AMD installer in "Win 7" Compatibility Mode. It is most likely that the driver install will fail at this stage, but the rest of Catalyst software will be installed.
8. Now install the driver using the "Have disk" method in device manager and your modified INF for both Intel and AMD cards.
9.If you did the test-signing process correctly, the installation will succeed for both cards.
10. Reboot and enjoy your switchable graphics under Win 8.
I still have to figure out how to make brightness controls to work.
BTW sorry for any grammar mistake, I am not a native English speaker.
Known issues:
- Sometimes switching may not work, resulting in BSOD.
- When AMD gpu is active, Intel driver context menu options are still available.
Features:
AMD gpu can be turned off, so battery will last longer.

Pavilion dm3 AMD switchable graphics (HD4000&HD5000) in Windows 10 Technical Preview

Basically it is a continuation of my previous topic:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/Pavilion-dm3-AMD-switchable-graphics-HD4000-...
Users of HP laptops with switchable graphics HD4000/HD5000 will face the same problem after upgrade to Windows 10.
The earlier we'll start to discuss and find the solution for this sort of laptops the higher chance that we will be able to use our laptops in Windows 10.
I use Windows 10 Technical Preview now and I try to find the correct driver for my laptop.

Hello there mate got g510 iam on windows 10 insider preview build 10159 and it runs smooth! about the driver thingy i found it the most easy to do beyond all the other devices out there all u have to do is downlaod and install the last build from here : https://mega.nz/#!hUc2SSDI!9VRPiak8tS90rKbbVEEA0MCn5QbI8YgWRA_gCkFmcrY make sure to clean install it by 8gb at least flash driver and u are good to go ps: upgrading from older builds can make crashes and black screens after the amd driver installed so just make clean install for ur own good after u are done u can check for windows updates and it will take the intel and amd drivers that supports the wddm 2.0 plus the conexant audio and bluetooth ,Elan touchpad , the last stable ones comes with the updates and trust me its the most stable ones ive used so far the remaining unknown device and the pci is for the power manager and the intel imanagement engine u can use windows 8.1 x64 drivers for those sorry for the bad english tho xD

Photoshop CS3 and ATI Radeon 2600XT Graphics ERRORS

I am Running photoshop CS3 on a mac pro 2.8GHz 8-core with and ATI Radeon 2600XT graphics card. On any size file, from a small jpeg to an enormous tif, any time I pan around the image, the monitor will repeat a section of the image over and over to fill the screen. That is to say, panning vertically will fill the screen with copies of a random horizontal section of the image (20pixels wide or so). The effect goes away as soon as I perform another action that affects the entire image (zoom, action undo, create new layer, etc.). I have updated photoshop and osx with all available software and firmware updates.
An example of what this looks like: http://www.flickr.com/photos/26107441@N02/2450960322/

I am running the same Mac hardware with a Mitsubishi 2060u, 1600x1200, 85Hz (CRT). I am having no such issues with PS CS3. I tried the monitor at 60Hz as well which also worked fine.
Do you have all the latest updates installed including the 2600 firmware update?

Satellite L50-B-23f - Switching between Intel and ATI GPU

Hi,
Purchased this laptop a week ago and I have to say that I'm very pleased with it but I would like to switch the integrated Intel (R) HD Graphics 5500 graphic display to that of the AMD Radeon R7 M260's.
I have brought up Device Manager which reports both display adapters are enabled and working properly. I have also looked at the AMD Catalyst Control Center but I still cannot fathom out how to accomplish the switch to the AMD graphics display.
I would be very grateful if somebody could point me in the right direction in order to complete the switching process.
Many thanks,
Jack Straw

Hi
The Intel GPU is a part of the CPU and will be used in order to safe the power.
It will be used in case the software graphic requirements are low.
Of course this can be changed manually.
You could assign the application which should use the ATI GPU.
To switch to the external GPU you have to click right on desktop
In Catalyst Control Center click on Power and select Maximum Performance when Plugged IN
Then in Switchable Graphics Global Settings choose also Maximize Performance
Then click on Switchable Graphics Application Settings
Now you would be able to add an application (game) which could use this graphic card settings
Point simply to the game exe file and add to the application list.
After that you will see the exe file in the list. Click on graphic settings column and set it to high performance.
But note: higher GPU performance produces more warmness which leads to higher internal temperature.

HP DV7 6151sd (AMD switchable graphics) fail in Windows 10

I upgraded my DV7 with swithable AMD Radeon HD 6490M GPU to WIndows 10. What a nightmare!! Switchable GPU fails to work and start-up takes forever (like 4 minutes!). The drivers are there and work OK. I am really dissappointed, as gaming now is a no-go as the computer defaults to the build-in Intel GPU. Other things that fail to work are bluetooth and the finger scan. I am really sad that an expensive laptop like this is so badly supported by HP upon switching to a new OS.

I have same problem with ENVY 14 2000et. My laptop also switchable graphic card.Last bios published for tis model 2 years ago! I have SSD and my waiting time about 90 seconds. If I change the graphic mode from dynamic to fixed in bios setup, computer starts about 25 seconds . But before I was using dynamic mode in windows 7. HP is going down! Thanks

New T410 with NVIDIA NVS 3100m Optimus switchable graphics

Does anyone know how to enable the switchable graphics feature on these machines.

Hi ts4673!
The beauty of Optimus is that switching occurs automatically. It is enabled by default, and automatically optimizes the choice of graphics processor, so you don't have to worry about managing the switchable graphics.
If you want to temporarily override Optimus' choice for an application, right click on the application and choose (assuming the context menu is enabled). You can set your choice permanently using the Nvidia Control Panel.
Hope this helps!

[SOLVED] Problem with FGLRX and Ati HD4650

Hi! I'm fede1587 and I'm a new user of Archlinux (but not a new user of Linux). I love it and the KISS philosophy.
Four days ago I intalled the new version of Arch but unfortunately I have a very big problem and after 4 days of work I have not been able to solve it.
I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FW41J with a ATI HD4650. I need Ati proprietary drivers, because with the open source ones, the laptop become too hot. After installing the catalyst legacy pakages (234k, catalyst-utils and catalyst-hook) both from AUR and from the repository (following the great guide in ArchWiki) and configuring, when I lanunch startx, sometimes Gnome starts and sometimes I got black screen with horizontal lines.
I'm searching for solutions from 4 days and I read a lot of topic, and I try a lot of things, but nothing!
Accourding to the various threads, I have:
1) Load the module fglrx
2) Blacklist the radeon module
3) Re-run mkinitcpio
4) Run aticonfig --initial
5) Run aticonfig --acpi-services=off
6) Add nomodeset to grub
After I tried to change kernel (thinking about some incompatibilities). I installed linux-lts, and I try with this kernel, but I have the same issue. I also try whit Bridge Linux, but nothing changed.
This is the only output found in my error.log (Xorg.X.log is empty):

Thanks a lot for the help and sorry for my bad english.

Enormous bug with intel and hdv

dear Friends,
I discovered a bug testing my octocore intel with compressor.
Unfortunately, encoding a file from hdv to m2v, an intel processor is 4 times slower than a non-intel processor,
...only in this case...!
An 1,30 minutes clip needs 12 minutes with a power book and the same file needs 45 minutes with an octocore 3.00 ghz...i tried other solutions swapping the disks (system and storage) from one machine to another but the problem remain in the same machine....
...awaiting for an apple resolution....

What version of Compressor are you using? I seem to recall some post about this awhile back...don't remember if an update helped...I think it did.

Parrellels with intel and vista vs XP

I have parrellels and I installed it on my intel G5. I had XP installed (this was the upgrade version from W98) but everything crashes programs won't run at all. I think it's because I don't have the XP second edition native. If I buy Vista will I be in better shape or should I try to find a copy of XP? Anyone with hints? I'd appreciate advice.
Leslie

Leslie,
Just a quick note, the G5 Processor is not an Intel Mac...the G5 Processor was the predecessor to the current generation of Intel Macs, they are not the same thing.
Please note that the Apple Support Forums are designed to provide support for Apple or Apple Branded products and not third party applications or hardware, for specific support regarding a third party product you may be better off contacting the manufacturer for support.
Per the requirements for Parallels you need to have an Intel Processor to properly run the application...
http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/sr/
You may simply be having problems due to the fact your G5 isn't truly compatible.
Hope this helps,
David

10.6.4 Combo Update - Kernel Panic on 1st Gen Mac Pro with 8GB and ATI 4870

Hi,
I installed the 10.6.4 combo update last night and now my system constantly kernel panics. It was fine with 10.6.3 for months and never kernel panicked.
I have 4 x 2GB FB-Dimms and a ATI 4870 card.
The system is also only showing one display and I can force it to kernel panic by going to system preferences and selecting 'Detect Displays'.
Anyone got any suggestions before I reinstall back to 10.6.3?
Thanks
Paul

Hey guys. I have got a new Macbook Pro 13" model and I am getting kernel panics. I've been trying to partition the drive for Boot Camp and after I updated yesterday (to 10.6.4) i've been getting the kernel panic sign. Also, when I boot from my Snow Leopard disk to go into Disk Utility to repair the permissions (I opened Onyx and on the SMART check it said the permissions needed to be reset) I get a kernel panic and it crashes! So at the moment i've just backed up my work and I am panicking myself as I have no idea what to do from here.
Any help would be appreciated!

X-configure with AMD64 and ATI 4250HD fails

I have just installed Arch
I figured to install gnome-shell would do all, but not,
i did pacman -S xorg to install the X
and After that I run X-configure and it gave me some errors.
As i have ubuntu and the .run ati installer I installed the fglrx driver at Arch, did not work
I copied my ubuntu xorg.conf not work too
I edited xorg.conf to put "radeon" driver instead of "fglrx"
i also installed gnome
i tried X-configure severla times and give me errors of "other drivers ot ati"
I tried to remove xorg "pacman -R xorg", impossible
I tried to reinstall and instead of install all, install only 13 the ati driver, nothing.
The Xorg man page says that there are some problems with X-configure sometimes.
As AMD64 +ATI is a common config, and sure there are some gurus that has this config working with the X
I suggest, not only publish it, making arch packages for this not working with X-configure configuration to be detected and well configured.
Last time I installed Arch was less diffcult but editing manually xorg.conf I was able to do it, I'm revisiting this distro, and is not very comfortable to install the X
even if it did work.
But thanks in advance if anyone can give me a xorg.conf that works

What do you mean "In addition to xorg"? 'xorg' is a group one shouldn't ever need to install whole.
As you've already explained.
In addition to everything else others have said, mitcoes, per the Beginner's Guide [ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … #Install_X ] follow what it recommends, albeit it's notable the guide presumes this is a new install. If you intend on using Catalyst, the link is available there for the ATI Catalyst instructions.
