As requested

ootest@ootest-VGN-AR51SU:~$ python -c 'from NvidiaDetector.nvidiadetector import NvidiaDetection; print NvidiaDetection().selectDriver()'
nvidia-current

As you can see, the output says nvidia-current, even though the nvidia-
settings screen clearly shows the 173.14.30 driver as being used.
