How can I know the source ppa of an installed package?

http://askubuntu.com – I have a package (xserver-xorg-video-intel) from ppa sources. Since I have more than one ppa sources for this package in my package management I am not sure which one is the source. So I wonder if I can learn this using apt-get or dbpkg etc. Related question: If I have various ppa's for a given package, will apt-get change the ppa if it finds a new version of the package in any ppa? I am asking since I use an alternative ppa for xserver-xorg-video-intel as the driver in the official one leads to errors in hibernate/sleep. (HowTos)

I am running 11.10 and I can't get the update for xserver-xorg-video-openchrome to install because it has a dependency for xorg-video-abi-10 which I can't figure out how to fix. When I try to install it from terminal I get this:

I read here that enabling "Sandybridge New Acceleration" can speed up KDE, but the link it provided is marked as private and I can't go to it. I read here that the current Intel video driver supports SNA, but it is off by default.

I have HP ProBook 4530s laptop with AMD Radeon HD 6490M graphics card.

xserver-xorg-core (2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10.8) breaks xserver-xorg-video-5 and is installed.

Also I can not upgrade my software, It said that the package system is broken, with detail information:

As I remember, all the time, after fresh-installing Ubuntu on my HP ProBook 4530s, the Radeon graphics doesn't work, it uses Intel Sandybridge Mobile instead.

After a failed LTS upgrade from "lucid" to "precise", I'm stuck in package limbo. As root I have run

1. dpkg --configure -a 2. apt-get -f install

Outputs appended below.

The default package archive at this point contains packages for "precise". What should I do to get past this?

I recently installed a clean install of Ubuntu 9.04 and am very impressed. Ive managed to get my ATI Radeon Xpress 200M GPU working following the following steps (used on my Laptop: HP Pavilion DV5000 Series);

about Ubuntu 12.04, but possibly affecting more. after some updates of middle of last week, xserver-xorg-video-intel frequently causes crash of xorg, such that keyboard doesnt work, only the mouse cursor can be moved around.
