Technically, if everything went fine and all internal hardware is perfectly working, you've done hardest part of the job and now you can use AMD discrete graphics on Windows 10. Can't remember if it will or not ask you to reboot, but do it anyway, just to be sure that everything installed properly. It already configured, so just run it and proceed with it till the end. Back again to folder with extracted drivers, run SETUP and follow instruction.
After reboot your system have to work properly in normal mode, after you put it in a sleep mode and wake up.
Then tool will ask you to reboot to apply these values. It can be identical values for both or different for each other. You'll see something like it: Write down anywhere you feel comfortable two sets of data. After you installed everything i've said above, you have to run UBR tool.

Install, as i said, bare minimum of drivers - Intel's chipset, Media Engine, Intel's GPU and AMD's GPU, and "Nothing else matter". Original drivers have to be downloaded from official HP's website.

Grab it from his repository Additional note - download drivers which you might need before you start installation of Win10^_^ First step is to get back to Windows 7, install minimum set of drivers (to make sure that everything IS working properly).

I've uploaded it here DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller), to properly remove windows default drivers, can be downloaded from their official website: And latest Leshcat Drivers for old AMD GPU's. Some tools/drivers are required^_^ UBR tool, to get valuable info from your machine, which is required to make every function to work properly.

This worked perfectly fine for me in Linux Mint 14, so I'm not sure what the deal is here.Well, there's a guide how to make a Windows 10 using AMD discrete graphics on this laptop. And the correct brightness level should be reflected in the on-screen indicator. What I would like is being able to control brightness from both my keyboard, or the S&L settings within Cinnamon. The problem is that (a) S&L brightness settings don't work any longer, (b) the on screen brightness indicator that pops up as I'm changing the brightness from my keyboard doesn't show the brightness is increasing, even though it is. Now, I'm able to fully control the brightness from my keyboard. If I set the brightness level to somewhere in the middle using the S&L settings, then I could adjust it up and down to some extent using the keyboard, but again it was limited. So, if S&L had the brightness all the way up (which it did, by default), then I could only reduce the brightness from my keyboard by a small amount. Out of the box, I could adjust the brightness using my keyboard, but only within a limited range from where the brightness level was set in screensaver and lock (S&L) settings. Also, if its relevant, I currently have my Nvidia GPU disabled in BIOS, so I'm only using Intel graphics. I have a thinkpad t530 latop, running Linux Mint 15 with Cinnamon ( 1.8 ). I didn't post a reply because of a restriction of my office's lan policy rules.Īnyway, here are the steps that you could try to fix this issue:ġ - Open terminal (as a superuser) and type: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grubĢ - In the text file that opens, find the line which says GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" and, inbetween the "", insert the words " acpi_backlight=vendor" (the line will be as follows: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_backlight=vendor"), save and close the file.ģ - Back again in the terminal session, type: sudo update-grub Yesterday (may 30) I sent you an e-mail with a possible solution for your request.

Otherwise some dependencies might fail.Īlso note that I do not know what issues could arise form this fix. You need this command however, to ensure that all files are handled at the same time.

What this does, as far as I know, is use what apt-get and aptitude use to install packages to update you kernel. Place the downloaded files in a folder and run form the terminal (in that folder): sudo dpkg -i *.deb. you need the packages that apply to your build. That way, I would get a newer kernel than I had before and then, more functions might work. These updates are from the Ubuntu distro (link below).
I heard I could update the kernel without using the mint updates. However, I did come across a method that worked As I posted before, the fix did not work for my ASUS X301A.
