L675-S7040 AMD display drivers issue (ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4250)

[ Edited ]

I got a L675-S7040 and I play games on it alot. I upgraded from windows 7 to 8 because the system would freeze and lock up a lot and a factory restore would not fix it. (it never freezes in windows 8)

the only problem with wondows 8 is that i can not find a windows 8 driver package for ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4250. and i need that so i can play minecraft, torchlight, skyrim and several other games that require OpenGL to work. Does anyone know when Toshiba will release windows 8 drivers for that graphic card or a windows 8 drivers that will work on it?

If any Mods or Admins know how to get the graphic card to work so i can use opengl again please message back, or if anyone knows how to make minecraft work with out opengl please let me know

Currently the Windows 8 Release Preview has native support of mobility 4250. If you just have 4250, then that will be fine; if you have switchable graphics like 4250 + 5650, then you are out of luck because AMD can't support swtichable graphics in Winsows 8. Contact them already, they said manafacturers like Toshiba are responsible to provide the switchable graphics drivers since they don't know about the tweaks Toshiba did in the hardware to make the switchable graphics to work.
