There is also a pci device as you said:
00:08.0 VGA compatible controller: Microsoft Corporation Device 5353 (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
        Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle+ MemWINV+ VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- DisINTx-
        Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
        Latency: 0
        Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11
        Region 0: Memory at f8000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64M]
