Enter the lsmod command and it will show you what drivers are currently running.
lsmod won't tell you the version of the driver; it will just tell you if your have an fglrx module loaded. Looking at the boot sequence in you kern.log, messages, or syslog should give you the driver version information. If should be fairly easy to spot because it will mention the fglrx driver module being loaded into the kernel. Also, looking in XFree86.0.log will give you the version. The out put in this file looks like this:
(II) Module fglrxdrm: vendor="FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc."
compiled for 4.3.0.1, module version = 8.12.10
ABI class: XFree86 Server Extension, version 0.2
