How is "Switchable graphics" supported on HP laptops? - It is function of BIOS supporting this feature

 

Is it via a BIOS setting, or is it through the Catalyst drivers? - the Switching is controller by the driver

 

Even when this is through Catalyst drivers, is there a way to permanently disable the built-in Intel HD graphics and only use the ATI Radeon HD5430/5450/5470 graphics card? - Yes, check below screenshot... but there is ATI-ATI switchable graphics as well, but only on AMD units, for which drivers can be downloaded from ATI directly as well...
