Forget GUI tools, GUIs suck
Based 💪
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.

take the string between the last / and the ko.xz and do:
lsmod |grep inteldrivermodname
(change inteldrivermodname to the string)
If you get output, it's loaded, and likely being used.
If you want to see if it's really being used and have some fun (read: crash your video) then try
rmmod inteldrivermodname
(ugly but it shoudn't foobar your fs's or anything... can likely ssh into the box to reboot properly, or use magic-sys-rq keys)
