Find out what nvidia driver version - HOWTO?

Lexje · 02-01-09, 06:29 AM

Hi forum,

Sorry for asking a probably easy question, but searching gives way too many results to drill down to an actual solution...

How do I find out what nvidia driver version a linux system is running?
I have found nvidia-settings -v, but this is reporting the nvidia-settings version off course...

Thanks a lot for helping out!

Code:

sudo cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version

should do it

Wew, thanks for your very quick reply!

Code:

linuxmce@dcerouter:~$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version
NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module  180.18  Thu Dec 18 14:29:33 PST 2008
GCC version:  gcc version 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)

I knew it must be simple, but it's not simple if you don't know... :-)

Thanks a lot!

Erwin
