Additional Drivers
On SolusOS proprietary driver installation is made easy by the use of Jockey. Many users have difficulties in selecting the appropriate driver for their hardware, and Jockey aims to ease this process by automating much of it.
Jockey can currently install drivers for the following hardware:
- Broadcom WLAN cards (WiFi)
- nVidia Graphics Cards
- ATi/AMD Graphics Cards
Installing drivers with Jockey
Select a proprietary driver in the interface (shown above) and click Activate You will be prompted with a screen such as the one on the right
The application will then proceed to download and build the drivers. At the end of this process you will be prompted to reboot your system. Please do so, SolusOS requires rebooting to load the new graphics drivers.
Removing drivers with Jockey
In the rare case that you may choose to remove the driver from your system, the process is almost identical to installing. Find the appropriate driver in the Jockey window, and then hit Deactivate Once again, you will have to reboot to unload the drivers.
