    Hello,
    im new to this switchable graphics thing.

    currently my Y460 is on the lenovo drivers with ati 10.3 official installed on top of the lenovo ati drivers.

    switching the graphics around works fine and i havent found any issues yet.

    i have a few questions though.

    at first when i reformatted, i tried installing the intel and ati graphic drivers seperately and it turned out that i could not install the intel graphic drivers alone and had to install the packaged ati driver off lenovo's site.

    1) if i want to update my intel graphic drivers, do i also install the new drivers on top or do i have to uninstall the intel driver.
    2) is there anyway to get rid of the ati catalyst driver showing 2 intel graphic chips and 2 5650 graphics cards? it looks really weird. even with just the lenovo graphic drivers it shows 2 intel gpus and 2 ati gpus..
