Description-en: Detect and install additional Ubuntu driver packages
This package aggregates and abstracts Ubuntu specific logic and knowledge
about third-party driver packages. It provides:
.
- a Python API for detecting driver packages for a particular piece of
hardware or the whole system.
.
- an "ubuntu-drivers" command line tool to list or install driver packages
(mostly for integration in installers).
.
- some NVidia specific support code to find the most appropriate driver
version, as well as setting up the alternatives symlinks that the
proprietary NVidia and FGLRX packages use.
