Public bug reported: I am running Ubuntu 12.10 x86_64 and have just recently installed the FGLRX-updates package. The package has installed correctly and I can confirm that the fglrx drivers are in fact active and running, but System Settings>Details reports VESA:DVST as the Graphics provider.
I would like to note that this issue also was the same on Ubuntu 12.04, and is on both my primary laptop (this one) with a Radeon HD7000 series card, and my secondary laptop with an Radeon HD4000 series card. I believe this bug is the same as this bug 879522 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/879522), though that bug was closed due to lack of response.
