Black screen problems ! Still can't fix it! - Yami Kuroi - 07-24-2012
I'm having some graphic problems , it's the black screen error while playing the demo version ( 1.01). Although I've already tried many methods ( including have disk and updating drivers ) but so far it can't be fixed yet. I'm pretty sure that my drivers are up to date. By the way, I'm having AMD Radeon HD 6630M and Mobile Intel ® HD Graphics ( Dell Specifics ). Thank you.
Oh,here's my hpl.log :

RE: Black screen problems ! Still can't fix it! - DELL Jimson G - 07-31-2012
Hello Yami Kuroi,
I am Jimson from the Dell social media outreach team. I am glad to assist you with this query, It appears that the computer is trying to open the program with Intel GPU (which is Primary) and unable to switch automatically to AMD. If you are using AMD switchable Graphics, try changing the GPU settings to AMD default. Also you can assign AMD GPU manually to the program and check. Please let me know the outcome. ***** Kindly do not post any personal Identification on the post *******
Thank you,
Jimson George

This problem seems to be solved but since you are a dell supporter, may I ask something off-topic? Do your monitors have service tags on them?
RE: Black screen problems ! Still can't fix it! - DELL Jimson G - 08-01-2012
Only on 27" and above.

Thank you. I have a Dell U2412M and I am asking because I want to check my Warranty status and it asks for a service tag which I do not have. The same applies to System Configuration. Also, the driver found at the support area is incomplete (files missing) and noone has fixed it.

Please private message me the Dell order number of this monitor and the address that it was shipped to so that I can verify the details for you.
The specification and warranty status can be viewed only with service tag on the support site unless the order is less than 6 months old. BTW, if you have the original invoice copy, you can verify the details yourself as its got the specification and warranty details on it.

Ok, when I get back from holidays I will send these info. The most frustrating issue though is the fact that the drivers are incomplete (even if the issue has been mentioned a lot of times at the official forums). Thank you for your assistance George.
