I finally got around to try to get my graphic cards to play ball and am having a issue with my radeon HD 6470M card.
My machine is a HP pavilion DV6 with icore 7 second gen.
Since some applications such as FF 8 and gimp 2.7.2 crash kwin and send me back to the login screen, probably due to the intel onboard card and 3D activated.
Plus the fan is always running.
I decided to install the prop driver with the additional drivers function.
This did solve the application crashing issue but I cannot get desktop effects to start even though it is marked as enable at startup.

Has anyone gotten the latest ATI driver installed and been able to get switching to work properly?
I know there have been problems with switching but I was hoping they have been resolved by now.
I would also like to get dual monitors working fluidly but I have to resolve this first.
