Getting New X Drivers
Working video drivers in Linux are available with most video cards you can purchase today. However,
to get some advanced features from your video cards (such as 3D acceleration) you may need to get
proprietary drivers directly from the video manufacturers. In particular, you may want to get drivers
from NVidia and ATI.
To get new drivers for video cards or chipsets from NVidia, go to the NVidia site (www.nvidia.com)
and select the Download Drivers button. Follow the link to Linux and FreeBSD drivers. Links from
the page that appears will take you to a Web page from which you can download the new driver
and get instructions for installing it.
For ATI video cards and chipsets, go to www.ati.com and select Drivers & Software. Follow the
links to Linux drivers and related installation instructions.
There are NVidia and ATI drivers that have been packaged for the particular kernel you are running
for many of the popular Linux distributions. Because these drivers are not open source, however,
you typically have to enable third-party software repositories to get them to work.
