Which GFX driver version am I'm using under Ubuntu 7.04?

I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 7.04 with a Gnome desktop.

Following some instructions on the ATI site I think I just managed to install 8.36.5 of the drivers for my Radeon 9500, I'm getting a "Proprietary Drivers in use" warning icon at the top right of the screen, which I activated with the "Restricted Drivers Manager".

How can I tell what version number of the drivers are installed? I figured I'd try and get all my hardware components working on Ubuntu 7.04 ready for when the new "7.04 compatible LinuxMCE install" arrives in a few weeks time.

I can't seem to find driver version info under Ubuntu. I can't see anything that looks like the driver version info under "System-Preferences-Hardware" Information. I actually thought I had a 9500, but the Hardware Information page shows it as a 9500pro

Anyone know?

Thanks,

Mark.
