Intel Graphics-Is it using a generic driver

I am running FC4 on a Dell Optiplex GX280. I want to know if it is using a generic driver for my graphics card, and if so where to get a correct driver. lspci reports the following for my graphics card

Intel Corporation 82915G Express Chipset Family Graphics Controller (rev 04)

Thanks for any help!!!!

Thanks for the info. How can you tell if a device is using a default driver or the correct one?

I tried installing the RPM that was available for download, but recieved several errors and a message to reboot. After rebooting and running startx, the screen wouldn't display. After running "rpm -e" on the package and rebooting, I was able to get X running again.

Should I not use the RPM?
