Um... well for a start, did you install anything in addition to
the standard install of Kubuntu?
Other than that, I ran the following command to find out what driver I
am using... from a terminal window type the following:
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
My PC comes back with a load of drivers including the line...
Driver "ati"
I believe the proprietary driver is fglrx (although I may be wrong on this).
Hope this helps anyway. No doubt you'd be able to find something in the
KDE Control Center although it's been a while since I ran KDE.
