HP Z230 User Manual

AMD Graphics Workstations
Some workstation configurations include AMD graphics hardware. HP recommends use of AMD
graphics drivers for best results on Linux systems.
HP also provides recommended versions of AMD graphics drivers with RPM-compatible installers for
RHEL and SLED distributions. These are available from the HP Installer Kit for Linux and workstation
driver support packages on hp.com.
The open source RADEON and RADEONHD drivers can conflict with the AMD graphics drivers by
claiming the hardware early in the boot process. The AMD driver installation process usually
blacklists conflicting drivers and turns off kernel mode-setting in the initial RAM image.
Administrator customization of the display characteristics and many other aspects of an AMD
graphics driver environment is available through the following command, which starts the Catalyst
Control Center:
/usr/bin/amdcccle
Some settings for AMD graphics, including reconfiguration of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, can be
accomplished through the many options provided by the following command:
/usr/bin/aticonfig
Information can be found in these directories after the driver is installed:
/opt/hp/ati
/usr/share/ati
/usr/share/doc/fglrx
If the automatic init script attempts to rebuild the kernel module, the name of the log file is /var/log/
fglrx-build.log.
