Judging on the results from this kb
<https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005520/graphics.html>
the DRM driver appears to be loaded:

bash-5.1$ lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'
0000:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation TigerLake-LP GT2
[Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Lenovo Device 3f19
Kernel driver in use: i915
Kernel modules: i915

For completeness, here are the results from the suggested commands.  I
think I'm missing some of the expected output (possibly because this PC
uses Wayland)?  I tried to grep for 46, intel, and
2c2141cd33dfa6e4d8f1ad9fdc6cd2d1d380c7.
