[sf-lug] Intel graphics chipsets (was /firmware/radeon)

[Ken Shaffer]

Try looking at the Intel lines in dmesg.  One of those should have your
graphics info.  On my Toshiba:
$ dmesg |fgrep  Intel
[    0.000000]   Intel GenuineIntel
[    0.000000] Reserving Intel graphics stolen memory at
0xbba00000-0xbf9fffff
[    0.093682] smpboot: CPU0: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz
(fam: 06, model: 3a, stepping: 09)

The 3630 in the last line is the graphics level.

The lspci does give the generation of the processor, which is some
indication of the graphics used:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core
processor Graphics Controller [8086:0166] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA
controller])
