    i first installed the 260m drivers from dell so the 9400 onboard will work and i am now updating the onboard drivers with the ones you provided (the link) but it seems to work fine and i thought if i have the nvidia and radeon drivers installed it would mess something up but appears not to it seems to be working fine thanks !
