Some graphics hardware (aka video cards) may need non-free 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. As of 7.04 ( Feisty ) the easiest way to install binary drivers is to use the built in Restricted Driver Manager from System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager ( in Gnome )

Identifying your card

ATI (fglrx) Driver

• `lspci` reveals a card with "Radeon" in it, or you know you own a Radeon card
• The model number for your Radeon card is a 9500 pro or above (this includes model numbers that start with an X, like X300, X1600, etc., and it also includes the Xpress 200)
• `glxinfo |grep direct` outputs `direct rendering: No`, or it outputs `direct rendering: Yes`, but performance in 3D applications such as games is unacceptable

See UbuntuHelp:BinaryDriverHowto/ATI for installation instructions.

NVIDIA (nvidia) Driver

• You know you own a "Ge``Force", "Quadro", "TNT" or "Vanta" graphics card.
• `lspci | grep -i nvidia` reveals a card with "NVIDIA" in it

See UbuntuHelp:BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia for installation instructions.

Matrox driver

• 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.
• `lspci | grep -i matrox` reveals a card "MGA XXX" where XXX is G650, G750 or Parhelia.

See UbuntuHelp:BinaryDriverHowto/MatroxParhelia for installation instructions. See also pages of Unofficial Matrox Technical Support Forum: http://matrox.tuxx-home.at/
