    Hey,

    Im almost pretty sure that many of You heard about it. In case You didn't:

    1) ATI cards are NOT used with most of all (if not all) OpenGL programs and games. Cards are not switching from Intel to ATI. All goes through IntelHD. :(
    2) Bug is well known by Dell for at least 2 months.
    3) HP already got their fix, and users are able to switch between IntelHD and ATI (6630M, 6650M, 6570M) with full OpenGL support.
    4) Dell is not giving any asnwers on when it's going to be fixed.

    Don't wait till it somehow repairs itself, because it won't! Act, join our group on Facebook!
    DELL! We want FIX for our Vostro switchable GPU 6630M | Facebook

    Original topic from IdeaStorm:
    IdeaStorm | Update Vostro 3550 AMD 6630/Intel HD 3000 Switchable Drivers

    I thought about running fast viral action to support our situation. In this particular problem only group has a chance to speed up Dell's work on fixing damn bug/error.

    Im run a small company in Poland. I purchased Vostro mainly for Photoshop usage with full Hardware support for ATI OpenGL. Im frustrated because already I can't give it back. I wan't full functionality of what i bought.

    Page will be closed as soon as Dell will fix error.

    I'm having the same problem. I can't believe Dell released a so badly made product.

    Yeh I've got same problem too! Can't believe that Dell hasnt fixed this yet - a BIOS or software option to always use the Intel card of always use the ATI one (like on a lot of HP laptops) would sort this issue out completely!
