How to determine the version and origin of proprietary drivers installed by Additional Drivers?
- by Bribles
How can I tell which version and from which repository the Additional Drivers tool is trying to install the fglrx graphics driver?
It says that I have a different version of the driver in use. I installed the driver from maverick/restricted and apt-cache tells me it's from a regular Ubuntu mirror. The installed version is the same as the candidate version.
Can I get Additional Drivers to tell me what it would install if I activated the driver through it? Is it possible Additional Drivers just assumes it's a different version since it was installed by a different process?
