    Just got my second r1 :)

    The Canitga GS45 driver on Dell's website doesn't work for me, it says my hardware is not supported. Seriously, Dell? Wrong driver?

    And I don't know why there is no volume indicator even after I updated A04 bios...

    Make sure you have the BIOS setting for Graphics Mode set to switchable or the Intel card will be disabled and you won't be able to install the driver. Also, to get the volume OSD you need to have the A04 BIOS and the new version of the OSD software (on support.dell.com).
