I have a Lenovo laptop, and Lenovo hasn't released any drivers for Windows 8 yet. Right now I'm only able to use the Intel card. Is all this mostly for HP products?
My Computer

- Windows 8 64 bit Professional
I'm using a Lenovo Y470p, and I read through most of this thread, and downloaded the UnifL Catalyst for AMD+Intel (AMD Radeon 7690m HD and Intel Graphics 3000 HD). I now have the switchable graphics menu available, and it looks fine on the surface, but I'm still only using the Intel card, not the Radeon. Any help?
Also, device manager is reporting my card as a 7670, is that a problem too? Thanks.
Wow looks like the noise level on this blog went from 90 to 0 lol.
I guess its due to many more finding W8 drivers, as in my case.
Anyway just wanted to post that leshcat's site is back up, and no password needed.

Hy man, yeah have it installed and actually almost looking like W7 . I found a nice start button/menu program, I found a neat old windows games package that installs all the old MS games, I found a program to recover the gadgets too. I'm still looking for a program to bring back the clear aero look. I had a program like that once for XP.
I also moved up from the dark ages of dialup to DSL this weekend
As for that sp59850 it works great on this laptop, works as the old driver did on W7.
So yeah so far I have things working OK.
One thing I did experience the other day though was when I installed a bad program called change sound, it really hosed the registry couldn't do squat in Windows at all, but luckily I had Acronis 2010 installed and had made a image a couple days before, whew, so did my first full image restore lolol, but learned a lesson, and found that this Acronis 2010 works great in W8
Hope the blog stays active, you never know

not working...
Ah, another 3rd-party modded driver!
Thanks, I will add it to the appropriate section on the first post.
Also, I believe the reason that you can have 2 different Driver Providers is because perhaps you are running x86 (32-bit) and not x64 (64-bit)? Windows x64 has driver-signing enforced by default, so you must have the same Provider for both drivers.
As an aside, I also noticed that Benchmark3D's AMD (official) Catalyst 12.10 WHQL downloads list an AMD Catalyst and an AMD Catalyst Mobility 12.10 download direct from AMD, although I can't find a page on AMD's Support Hub that talks about the Catalyst Mobility driver.
Time for some more testing...thanks again for the info!
