Hi - the easiest way to check to see if the updated driver is working is to try the following:
- lspci -kvnn : the VGA Controller entry should say "Kernel driver in use: i915"
- modinfo i915 | grep filename : this will show you the path to the module.
If the path has entries in it that say "dkms" and "updates" you are using the updated driver.
If it just says /lib/modules/<kernel-version>-<cpu-architecture>/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko
then you are using the module that shipped with your kernel.
If you think you should have the dkms version you should also run: dkms status
Which will report the status of any updated drivers that have been installed (you're interested in the i915 entries)
Hello there,
I am downloaded latest verson installer and installed my ubuntu. But now how can i check it is insalled and using new driver ? Is there any tool or something?
