Public bug reported:
Open the system setting->Details->Graphics, find the Graphics Driver
show VESA: XXXXXX strings , not the accurate information from glxinfo -l
| grep "OpenGL renderer string"
The "VESA:XXXX" string displayed in "System Settings-->Details->Graphics" is
because
gnome-control-center will find the driver information via:
(1) parse /var/log/Xorg.0.log and find "VESA VBE OEM Product:" String
(2) if (1) is not found, parse the result of "glxinfo -l" and find
"OpenGL renderer string", and use this info as the string being shown.
There're some of AMD's fglrx driver will show "VESA VBE OEM Product: XXXXX"
string in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
so this "VESA:XXXXX" string instead of the more accurate string from glxinfo
will being shown in the panel.
Use glxinfo's information (when available) first is more accurate.
A proposed patch is attached.
