NVIDIA Graphics Workstations
Some workstation configurations come with NVIDIA Quadro graphics hardware. HP recommends the
use of NVIDIA drivers for best results on Linux systems.
HP provides recommended versions of the drivers with RPM-compatible installers for RHEL and
SLED distributions. These are available from the HP Installer Kit for Linux and from workstation driver
repositories on hp.com. When HP installers are used, their contents and documentation links are
located in the /opt/hp/nvidia folder.
When installing Linux on a workstation that contains an NVIDIA card, administrators should select a
VESA-compatible driver to avoid the instability that is experienced with some open-source versions of
the Nouveau and DRM drivers.
Open-source versions of Nouveau drivers and NVIDIA drivers cannot coexist in the same runtime
environment because they use the same hardware resources. If administrators create their own Linux
environments using NVIDIA drivers but choose not to use HP-packaged versions, HP recommends
that they manually append the following boot loader parameters to properly suppress the Nouveau
driver at runtime (grub example below):
kernel /vmlinuz ... rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0
This action is applied by HP installers but must be applied/restored under other circumstances.
To customize display characteristics and resolutions when the computer is using an NVIDIA driver,
execute the following command:
/usr/bin/nvidia-settings
To create and manipulate the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, execute:
/usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig
