Graphics hardware in use

dual-GPU (intel/nvidia)

Bug description

The System info doesn't display the Discrete GPU on some hybrid graphics systems. This happens because the dGPU in hybrid systems is listed as a "3D controller" instead of a VGA controller:


You probably should change that from
if not "VGA" in card:
to
if not "VGA" in card and not "3D controller" in card:
It's not a big deal, but it can confuse some users, especially when they're running in Nvidia/performance prime mode and they only see an Intel GPU listed.

Steps to reproduce

Run 'cinnamon-settings info' or launch through the menu on a system with with hybrid graphics.

Expected behavior

Both GPU's are listed
