How to See Which Display Driver is Loaded in Arch Linux

You can use the following command. This will probably work even if you are using HDMI or display port. It will show you which device you have.


lspci -v|grep -i vga

If you want to see the full output you can just run this which should also show you which driver is in use.


lspci -v

Search for the section that looks like this:
