    Does anyone know where I can find the original switchable driver from Dell? I just installed Windows 8, and cannot find the official driver from Dell anywhere. I went to their support site and got the Nvidia driver, but it doesn't let me switch.

    I saw a post about a mod for these drivers, but would prefer to be able to use the fn f6 to switch, if possible.

    Thanks

    Yeah, I got those, but for some reason it doesn't allow me to switch back and forth from the different modes.

    EDIT: After a reinstall it works..

    Thank you
