![]() ![]() I read all of the posts here: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=248059&start=160, but most of them are about Mint 17 through 19 and with only sparse mention of switchable graphics. ![]() Found only two threads mentioning the HD7670 and the information there are not relevant to my case. Performance is excellent with the integrated Intel card (not tried any gaming though), but it seems a shame to have a dedicated card with 1GB of video memory laying there unused I did my best to do my homework before posting, searching the forum, but: It is an old machine, but the big screen, full size keyboard and num pad makes it almost a desktop replacement. My plan for the laptop is to use it for coding in Python. The BIOS has only two options, "Integrated" and "Switchable", so from there I cannot force Mint to "see" only the AMD card. Where I got stumped is with trying to get the laptop to use the AMD HD7670M card instead of the integrated Intel one. About a week ago I dusted off an old Acer Aspire 17" laptop and installed Mint 20.2 Cinnamon, dual booting with the original Win7 install.īesides a few minor issues with brightness control (easily fixed with a bit of googling around and command line work), all is in working order.
