How to check the GPU driver version installed by DKMS?

The following commands returns the GPU driver version:

dkms info | grep intel-i915-dkms

How to map the DKMS kernel driver codes with tags?

The DKMS module source is developed and published in the Intel GPU i915 Backports project. To map your installed kernel module to the source version, check the DKMS status after installation:

dkms status

You should see a result similar to the following:

intel-i915-dkms, 0.5834.220609.0.1011, 5.14.0-1034-oem, x86_64: installed

In this case, the version of the intel-i915-dkms is 0.5834.220609.0.1011. Within that version string, 5834 is the build number. You can then look at the tags on the Intel GPU i915 Backports tags. Using 5834 as the example, you can see UBUNTU2204_22WW32_392_**5834**_220609.0 as the source tag.
