    I had somewhat of the same issue. No screen tearing though. Solved it by using the minimum system install which will put the HP package of the ATi v11.4 CCC drivers on the notebook (which will include the Intel drivers for switchable graphics). Beyond that, I upgraded directly to v11.8 off of AMD's download page. No issues after that. If I recall correctly what I read here on the forums, the last couple of CCC releases are supposed to better support switchable graphics options.
