method and media of your choice.

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

verification by HP. See the

support/linux_hardware_matrix

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.

Proprietary graphics drivers supported by HP and the graphics vendors are available with the HP

Installer Kit for Linux, with the SLED 11 preload 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 or SLED distributions because they are

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

directly by the vendor.
