    Hi all, just received my M17X R3 this week. Got a M4 SSD to go with it and just trying to install everything on it. I pretty much got everything working but I'm just a bit confused with the GPU drivers. I've got the 6970.

    First of all as of this point what drivers are best to install? The ones from AMD, M17X dell ones, dell M18X drivers? also the intel integrated graphics. Do I have to install drivers for that? I read somewhere the AMD drivers include it but it doesn't seem to work. If so do I need to install the before the AMD ones, after? And how do I get the keyboard shortcut working, the fn+f7?

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    I am right in thinking you have to install the dell drivers first then you can install the latest AMD drivers on top?
