    Hi, I just took out my pmd out of the box and test it, but I cannot get and confirm that I am using the Ati 6650m instead of intel mobile hd graphics

    also in the ati catalyst control centre, when I changed the mode to "accelerate the notebook display" it always switch back to "allow additional displays" I also already tried the settings in fn + f7 , it always revert back

    thank you in advance :D

    ^ thanks for your reply, but even when the blue light is on, I cannot confirm whether intel hd graphics is in use or ati is in use, and It seems that I cannot get to ati, because when I switched it via software, it always reverts back, perhaps I am missing something in the process ?

    what do you mean by you need to confirm? what program or game are you trying to run? what framerate did you get?

    ^ I want to confirm whether I am in Intel HD Graphics or Ati 6650M, because when I see the settings on ati catalyst control centre, it says that my current setting will only allow additional displays to the pmd, and when I tried to change accelerate notebook displays, the setting revert back

    and I currently didn't have the software to check frame rate, should I get one to be sure ?

    thank you
