My laptop (F27 under Xfce) uses an Intel chip:
[root@golem4 log]# lspci -v -s 00:02.0
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core
Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00
[VGA controller])
Subsystem: Dell Device 04d8
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 31
Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M]
Memory at c0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
I/O ports at 4000 [size=64]
[virtual] Expansion ROM at 000c0000 [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit-
Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [a4] PCI Advanced Features
Kernel driver in use: i915
Kernel modules: i915
Checking the Xorg.0.log:
[ 107.315] (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) Integrated Graphics Chipsets:
i810, i810-dc100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 854, 852GM/855GM, 865G,
915G, E7221 (i915), 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 945GME, Pineview GM,
Pineview G, 965G, G35, 965Q, 946GZ, 965GM, 965GME/GLE, G33, Q35,
Q33,
GM45, 4 Series, G45/G43, Q45/Q43, G41, B43
So yes, the i915 seems to be a generic driver for the above chipsets,
and while the 630 isn't specifically listed, there's a lot of types like
"Q33" and the like, one of which may be an alias for your chipset.
An "lsmod i915" will list more than 200 PCI IDs it handles and yours
is probably buried in there.
