Install the NVIDIA Driver if any of these are true: * You know you own a "GeForce" or a "Quadro" graphics card. * You know your card model begins with "4", "FX", or "6". * `cat /proc/pci` reveals a card with "NVIDIA" in it Install the Matrox driver if any of these are true: * 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. == ATI (fglrx) Graphics Card == see ["BinaryDriverHowto/ATI"] == NVIDIA Graphics Card == see ["BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia"] == Matrox (Parhelia-based) Graphics Card == see ["BinaryDriverHowto/MatroxParhelia"] == SmartLink modem == see ["BinaryDriverHowto/SmartLinkModem"] See Also: KeyspanDriverHowto CategoryDocumentation CategoryCleanup |
