IconsPage?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=info.png This guide and its subpages describe how to install the proprietary binary/restricted drivers provided by video card manufacturers. Please note the some video cards may need the proprietary drivers, even though these drivers are not part of the open source community and cannot be fixed by open source software developers. If you encounter bugs with these closed-source drivers, developers will not be able or even willing to assist you in resolving your issues. Use at your own risk. IconsPage?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=IconTip.png To determine your video card make and model, run this command from terminal:

lspci | grep VGA

More detailed information can be found by running

sudo lshw -C video

Basic Installation Instructions

The easiest way to install binary drivers is to use the built in Hardware Drivers manager in Ubuntu. In Hardy and newer, this is found under System->Administration->Hardware Drivers. In older supported versions (Feisty and Gutsy) it is called Restricted Driver Manager and is found at System->Administration->Restricted Driver Manager. For Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon, go to the Restricted Manager in K Menu->System Settings->Advanced tab. In Kubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron use the Hardware Drivers Manager from K Menu->System. For Dapper Drake and more advanced help with the above, see the next section.

More Detailed Installation Instructions

ATI (fglrx)

If you have an ATI Radeon 9500 or newer (including thx X-series, such as x300, x1600, etc, an Xpress 200, or a Radeon HD card), then you can use the restricted fglrx drivers: BinaryDriverHowto/ATI.

  • Radeon HD support is currently limited, but rapidly improving.

IconsPage?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=IconNote.png If you are using an ATI Radeon card that is older than above, you need the open source drivers: RadeonDriver (NOT fglrx).

nVidia (nvidia)

If you own a "Ge``Force", "Quadro", "TNT" or "Vanta" graphics card, see: BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia.

Matrox (mtx)

If any of the following situations apply to you, then you may see: BinaryDriverHowto/MatroxParhelia

  • lspci | grep -i matrox reveals a video card with "MGA XXX" where XXX is P650, P750 or Parhelia.
  • You know you own a Matrox Parhelia-based (P650, P750 or Parhelia-512) graphics card.
  • When you first turn the computer on you see a flashing logo with Matrox.

VIA

VIA has recently began to work with the Open Source community by providing source code and binary drivers that are available for download from their website. The details are still sparse (May 27th, 2008) but the following lists some sources of information that may be useful:

Help!

If you are still unsure of what to do, please visit the Ubuntu Forums and feel free ask questions! Try some of the following areas:

If you have a Matrox based video card, you can also try the pages at the Unofficial Matrox Technical Support Forum: http://forum.tuxx-home.at/
