    I just tried to do the Hybrid 260.99 Driver update on my M11x R1 After doing so only my 335M was updated to the 260.99 driver but my intel driver is at 020.20 Is this right? Or should both of them be at 260.99??? Dis I do something wrong???

    Nah, you didn't do anything wrong. Two different companies make drivers for the Geforce 335M and the integrated graphics. Nvidia makes the 260.99 drivers for the Geforce 335M, so those are going to show up as 260.99 .... Those drivers will *not* affect your intel graphics accelerator or any of your intel drivers.

    your intel drivers are separate from your nvidia drivers, and will read a different version number because intel releases those drivers... not nvidia.

    I hope this helps ya :)

    I think most R1 users have done this update if not the latest. I know the ones from Dell's website the are worst however most stable (to them at least).
