Hello People,

First, sorry for my bad english and for my questions, i'm newbie on linux.
Recently i installed Linux mint Debian Cinnamon and i'm trying to install drivers for the graphic card Amd Radeon 6550M but without success.
I tried every methods that i found on internet, diferents versions of amt ati drivers on offical pages but again without success.

Note: my computer has Switchable graphics cards, amd and one intel graphics (can't remember the model)

My question is, there a possibility to install some drivers to put work the graphic card correctly?

My log:

You will need to disable the AMD card in the machine's BIOS and run off the Intel card. Your machine's manual will have the instructions for the BIOS.

I checked all options on each tab of bios setup but don't have the option to disable AMD card.
