Proprietary graphics drivers

Most HP workstations can be ordered with graphics cards that have been through extensive verification by

HP. See the Linux Hardware Matrix for HP Workstations at

http://www.hp.com/support/

linux_hardware_matrix for a list of supported cards.

NOTE: Not all graphics cards are available on every workstation. Limitations generally occur for cards that

consume large amounts of power in lower-power workstations.

Third-party proprietary graphics drivers supported by HP and the graphics vendors are available with the HP

Installer Kit for Linux, with the SLED 11 and Ubuntu preloads on Z series Workstations, and from HP

Workstation Support at

http://www.hp.com/go/workstationsupport.

These proprietary drivers are not a standard part of the RHEL, SLED, or Ubuntu distributions because they are

not open source. Driver revisions more recent than those at the HP support website are supported directly by

the vendor.
