Switchable Graphics Trouble

[ConBrio93]

I decided to try out the Amnesia demo. I got to the opening, the voice over played, but the screen was black. I thought this was normal. Then I gained control of the character, and the screen was still black. I started to think there was something wrong, looked online, and discovered the black screen was not part of the voice over part of the game.

I did some more research and determined it was the fact that the game only wants to recognize my Mobile Intel® HD Graphics Card, instead of my Radeon HD 6770M Graphics Card. I went to the Catalyst Control Center, and switched the launcher.exe and Amnesia.exe to High Performance. No dice, the game still doesn't recognize the Radeon card.

I looked around a bit more on the forums. I followed the advice to disable my Intel card. No dice, it makes my laptop display (an HP DV6 Quad) go nuts.

I'm now stuck. I'm not sure what to do in order to get my Radeon graphics card recognized. I contacted another owner of a DV6 Quad and they apparently had no trouble (never had to download anything special, turn of the Intel card, switch the default, etc...) so I'm not sure what the deal is. Any help?

My hplog in case it is needed.

Spoiler below!
