Here's how I make it work. ( Done with battery, not plugged in. )
1.Download (64Bit hybrid: ATI_11.3_W7x64_Alien9_Hybrid_v3_Beta) from
http://www.acer-userforum.de/acer-treiber/...html#post2956522.Run the install.cmd and uninstall all existing ATI driver ( express uninstallation ). note : the directory must match the install.cmd directory.
3.Reboot and get into BIOS and change from SWITCHABLE TO DISCRETE.
4.Run the setup again and install it.
5.Reboot and change the BIOS from DISCRETE to SWITCHABLE.
6.Wait awhile and a notification pop up stated that INTEL HD GRAPHICS IS INSTALLED. You will be prompted to reboot your computer.
7. REBOOT AND DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You now get to switch your graphics again, brightness key regained, and maybe increase in performance...
For those who dislike the BEEPING sound when AC Adapter plugged in, I found out a solution thru the net. ( applies to Realtek audio driver only )
1. go to Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound -> Playback Tab
2.double-click speakers, under level tab you will see PC BEEP, change it and you can eliminate the beeping sound~
