Graphics Schemes No Longer Available?

Have Intel 4 Series on an HP Tablet PC. Schemes were working perfectly fine for us and now they're gone.

Was really dissapointed to see support for graphics schemes removed. I have several tablet PCs and the newest one, the HP, has the 4 Series graphics chip. Schemes have dissapeared and I relied on them to manage the many different environments my wife uses the machine in. She's a professional speaker and frequently finds herself using the same 5 or 6 sets of external monitor and/or projector configurations for her tablet PC. Using Right click > Select Scheme > Scheme Name was terribly convenient.

I ran the support organization for a mobile computing company that manufactured tablet PCs for several years and am quite familiar with their use and capabilities. Tablets are frequently used in scenarios where this feature makes sense. I hope an alternative is presented to customers in the near future.

For the time being I'm dissapointed, and may simply revert to the older drivers until a solution appears.

Yes, Schemes mode has been removed with the latest graphics drivers for Intel cards. You may want to try an older version of the drivers or getting customized drivers from your computer manufacturer.

I miss that feature a lot. I'm spending a lot of time to setup the monitors in different environments now.

Hi, I'm just curious what the rationale was in removing the scheme feature from recent driver editions? Thanks.
