lspci shows you what exists in the hardware whether it is being used for not, whether you have a driver that can use it or not. And kmod list shows you what drivers have loaded because it found valid hardware for it, and you have amdgpu loaded so you are using it. I don't know specifically about wayland as I don't use it, but on Xorg there is a log file that tells you exactly what it found and will give you more details on the card it is using. On my laptop I see this (lspci is what kmod list calls) lspci | grep -i VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620 (rev 02) If it change my grep I find this: lspci | grep -i nvid 01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107 [GeForce 940MX] (rev a2) 01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GM107 High Definition Audio Controller [GeForce 940MX] (rev a1) And my Xorg driver is using the nvidia card, and I have the nvidia supplied driver installed and in use. The add-on cards typically don't list as VGA.

Like my desktop has the monitor connected to the GPU directly, which means all display is handled by the GPU.
