A driver is a piece of software which tells your computer how to communicate with a piece of hardware. Every component in a computer requires a driver to function, whether it's the printer, \acronym{DVD} player, hard disk, or graphics card.

Ein Treiber ist eine Datei mit Programmcode, die Ihren Rechner in die Lage versetzt, ein Gerät oder eine Komponente zu verwenden. Jede Komponente in einem Rechner benötigt einen Treiber um zu funktionieren \dash sei es der Drucker, die \acronym{DVD}-Wiedergabe, die Festplatte oder die Grafikkarte.

\marginnote{Your graphics card is the component in your computer which outputs to the display. Whether you are watching videos on YouTube, viewing \acronym{DVD}s, or simply enjoying the smooth transition effects when you maximize/minimize your windows, your graphics device is doing the hard work behind the scenes.} The majority of graphics cards are manufactured by three well-known companies: Intel, \acronym{AMD}/\acronym{ATI}, and \acronym{NVIDIA} Corp. You can find your video card manufacturer by referring to your computer's manual, by looking for the specifications of your computer's model on the Internet, by opening an application such as \application{Sysinfo}, or by using the command \userinput{lspci} in a terminal. The \application{Ubuntu Software} application houses a number of applications that can tell you detailed system information. SysInfo, see the previous section, is one such program that you can use to find relevant information about your System devices. Ubuntu comes with support for graphics devices manufactured by the above companies, and many others, out of the box. That means you don't have to find and install any drivers yourself, Ubuntu takes care of it all.

Keeping in line with Ubuntu's philosophy, the drivers that are used by default for powering graphics devices are open source. This means that the drivers can be modified by the Ubuntu developers and problems with them can be fixed. However, in some cases a proprietary driver (restricted driver) provided by the company may provide better performance or features that are not present in the open source driver. In other cases, your particular device may not be supported by any open source drivers yet. In those scenarios, you may want to install the restricted driver provided by the manufacturer.

In Übereinstimmung mit der Ubuntu-Philosophie sind die per Voreinstellung verwendeten Treiber für Grafikgeräte Open Source. Das heißt, dass die Treiber von den Ubuntu-Entwicklern verändert und Probleme behoben werden können. Allerdings bietet der vom Hersteller angebotene proprietäre Treiber (eingeschränkter Treiber) in einigen Fällen eine bessere Leistung oder zusätzliche Funktionen im Vergleich zum Open-Source-Treiber der Entwicklergemeinschaft. In anderen Fällen könnte es sein, dass die Open-Source-Treiber genau Ihr Gerät noch nicht unterstützen. In diesen Fällen werden Sie es wahrscheinlich vorziehen, den proprietären Treiber des Herstellers zu installieren.

For both philosophical and practical reasons, Ubuntu does not install restricted drivers by default but allows the user to make an informed choice. Remember that restricted drivers, unlike the open source drivers for your device, are not maintained by Ubuntu. Problems caused by those drivers will be resolved only when the manufacturer wishes to address them. To see if restricted drivers are available for your system, go to \menu{System Settings}, then open \menu{Software and Updates} and go to the \tab{Additional Drivers} tab. If a driver is provided by the company for your particular device, it will be listed there. You can choose the proprietary driver for your graphics card, then click on the \button{Apply Changes} button to enable the driver. This process requires an active Internet connection and it will ask for your password. Once installation is complete you may have to reboot your computer to finish activating the driver.

\marginnote{Another useful resource is the official online documentation (\url{http://help.ubuntu.com}), which contains detailed information about various graphics drivers and known problems. This same documentation can be found by searching for \userinput{Help} in the Dash search bar or by pressing \keystroke{F1} on your keyboard.} The Ubuntu developers prefer open source drivers because they allow any problem to be identified and fixed by anyone with knowledge within the community. Ubuntu development is extremely fast and it is likely that your device will be supported by open source drivers. You can use the Ubuntu Live \acronym{DVD} to check your device's compatibility with Ubuntu before installing, or go online to the Ubuntu forums or to \url{http://www.askubuntu.com} to ask about your particular device.
