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
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.
