Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log

For example I see:

[   304.841] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so
[   304.860] (II) Module nouveau: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[   304.860]    compiled for 1.12.4, module version = 1.0.1
[   304.860]    Module class: X.Org Video Driver
[   304.860]    ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 12.1

Seems reasonable given:

ii  xserver-xorg-video-nouveau                                  1:1.0.1-5                         amd64        X.Org X server -- Nouveau display driver

So 1.0.1 is the version of the nouveau driver I am using in X right now.
