wonder what is the issue with the graphics cards? it's supposed to have the firepro w5130m videocard, but it actually has somekind of hd 530 and r9 m360 combo instead...
and where could i even get drivers for the r9 version(win7) - on Dell's website, it's either r7 or some really old m360, which does not even install for the same reason and doesn't specify the r version...
on Amd's website it only has 64bit drivers and windows update suggests the w5130m drivers, lol... (i already tried the latest from Amd's site, but the device was actually disabled in device manager, because it was said in there that it caused some issues for being the wrong version driver etc..)
now i installed the newest 64bit drivers on win7-64, but it has the same exact issue - r9 m360 is just disabled under device manager, because 'it reported problems', and windows update also suggests w5130m drivers again, lol... so what is going on with this and is it like somekind of switchable graphics and how do i switch them then?
well, now it actually installed w5130m from the 'enterprise' pack(64), but hwinfo said that it's r9 m360... so maybe i try the same pack with 32bit then... (i used the web installer on 64 bit first, but that didn't work then)
and maybe it switches the cards automatically then, because switching all profiles to "perfomance" did not switch the other Gpu on at all... and the discreet one dissapeared from the 'cpu-z' hwinfo app after it found the correct drivers to install for it...
well... now i managed to get it working, but it was probably the actual w5130m v18(enterprise) drivers that was like 273mb or smth. but both 32 and 64 still have some other drivers missing(maybe even same amount), so i probably have to figure those out now lol
i installed the thermal and fall sensor via service tag page, but i already got the smartcard driver from a standalone pack or smth(probably "Dell USB Smartcard Keyboard Driver"), so does that Vault2 thing include the Broadcom stuff also, because i don't want to install anything extra at all
