Hi,
Yes, but it doesn't tell you which X.Org driver is beeing used.
If you are actually running X, A better way is to look in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
Something like that will print the driver name:
awk -F' ' '/[A-Za-z]+\(0\)/ { print $4 }' /var/log/Xorg.0.log | uniq
(Unfortunatly there is no standard way to query the running X server
for the active video driver(s)...)
I'm interested in the full contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log if you're
willing to share it.

This is probably using the s3virge driver, which is on the list of
driver that have issues with the next X server version.

This is an intel chipset supported by the current DRM driver. It's not
going away anytime soon.
