sysadmin@nc5885:~$ lspci |grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor
Graphics Controller (rev 09)
sysadmin@nc5885:~$ find /dev/ -group video
/dev/fb0
/dev/video0
/dev/dri/card0
/dev/dri/controlD64
find: `/dev/vboxusb': Permission denied
/dev/agpgart
sysadmin@nc5885:~$ sudo find /dev/ -group video
[sudo] password for sysadmin:
/dev/fb0
/dev/video0
/dev/dri/card0
/dev/dri/controlD64
/dev/agpgart
sysadmin@nc5885:~$ glxinfo | grep -i vendor
server glx vendor string: SGI
