So, big surprise, HP isn't a fan of updating their drivers.
Lehscat's UnifL Catalysts are solution for some, they work for any laptop with AMD switchable graphics - as long as the other part is Intel. However, they're only for Intel+AMD combo, not for AMD+AMD
Does anyone know if there's similar universal driver for HD4200 + HD5650 switchable combo? Sadly all the laptop makers make their own customizations on the switching process apparently so just installing standard drivers won't work
That's strange, I owned an HP with 4200/5650 graphics and the regular mobility Catalysts worked just fine.

Ah, perhaps it's a new thing. Last drivers I installed on the laptop in question were the 10.6's or something like that.They install just fine but at least 12.3's say that they don't work on switchable gfx laptops
Even the HP drivers are newer than that based on date (didn't check build)
I have the 12.3s installed on my Acer with 5470/Intel HD. Switches fine. I had the switching problem when I wiped and restored from a blank Windows 7 DVD. I had to use the recovery, put all the original software in, then download the 12.3s.

Strange as they specificly state they don't support switchable gfx on 12.3's, maybe I should give them another go then or just use the HP ones 'till I face actual problem with some game/app
Ya they do say that. When you install, don't choose 'Express' and when you get to the components checklist it should should somthing like 'IPX something-something' at the top. The version numbers will be the same, for example, mine says verison 1.00.0 (or something similar)
