NVIDIA X Server Settings thinks I'm not running NVIDIA driver, but I do.

[Oliver Ruebenacker]

     Hello,

[oruebenacker at localhost ~]$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor
Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [NVS 5400M]
(rev a1)

  Does that also answer the question about which card I'm using, or how
would I find that out?

  Thanks!

     Best,
     Oliver
