How to Find Out What Version of Display Driver is Installed



The Next CEO of Stack OverflowWhy am I getting “display driver stopped responding and has recovered” when using Java applications?“Display driver stopped responding and has recovered”How I can fix the “Display Driver has stopped responding and has recovered”?Generic Synaptics driver keeps reverting through Windows UpdateNvidia driver crashes every time it is usedDisplay driver stopped responding and has successfully recoveredGPU causes PC to go into endless reboot & no display (Radeon HD 7970)'AMD Display Driver has stopped responding and has recovered' errorCannot Update Graphics Drivers - OEM or Generic - Driver does not support this version of windows. - Toshiba - Intel HD 4600Screen Flickering after windows update, despite display driver reinstall

One of my favorite games, "Wolfenstein Enemy Territory", has stopped working lately. It throws a segfault during the initialization phase.



I suspect that the reason is a recent update to the video card driver. The problem started after I updated Ubuntu but I do not remember if there was a driver update in the list.



My question is how can I check this. How can I view the current version of the display driver installed and the date it was last updated?



If I discover that this is indeed the problem, will it be possible to revert the update and stay with the previous version of the driver?
