Hi,
hope this list is for switchable graphics as well as nvidia optimus.

I have an Intel/ATI laptop with switchable graphics. It is a HP dv6
and there is not bios option to force the use of a specific card.
If I use radeon drivers I can switch between discrete and integrated
but when using discrete I get not 3D acceleration (glxinfo reports
direct rendering: yes but mesa renderer).
If I use proprietary fglrx drivers I'm stuck with the integrated card
as vga_switcheroo isn't supported.

Is there any way to get proprietary drivers (or at least 3D
acceleration) working?
It's ok for me to loose the switching capability and force the card
into discrete.

My discrete card is 6550M but lspci reports it as: Radeon HD 5600 Series.

Thank you.
