Please note that the u-drivers API can only make some guesswork about
"recommended" for the various proprietary nvidia driver versions (-96,
-173, and -current). For nouveau vs. nvidia, or ati vs. fglrx there is
no real recommendation, as they both have different strengths and
weaknesses.
I don't know what an "alternative" driver should mean, this needs
clarification from design.
I can work out whether there is a manually installed driver up to some
degree of reliability.
As for "not working", and to some degree "alternative driver", the API
can return a boolean flag about "if this driver is not installed, there
will be a free driver taking over", which would be true for
nvidia/fglrx, and false for bcmwl. Would that satisfy the requirement?
