The question is which driver Windows is using.

No, actually the question has absolutely nothing to do with the
driver...because the driver will not give you any indication as to
whether it's talking to an onboard video chipset or an actual video

What you have to do is identify the TYPE of video hardware.
Identifying the drivers will be useless.
