    You don't need a new menu in BIOS to activate the ATI card! You must choose DISCRETE on graphics adapter option.

    If you want, there is a BIOS MOD that will give you the INTEGRATED option. Send me a message if you want the LINKS (i cannot post them... strange forum :-\)

    But beware: I can see now why ACER did not release such an option: the 5810TG won't reboot properly if INTEGRATED is selected! (works fine though, as the SO recognizes only 1 card, and the other will presumably will stay turned off, not drawing any power).
