Please do not merge yet.

This has to be tested before and for the reason I don't have some AMD GPU, I can't be sure. So please understand this PR as a request for a review.

There's also some issue with kernel 4.14 and kabylake hardware which either should be resolved or we should do changes for not supporting > kabylake. Only if newer hardware has the same problem ofc.

General gripe/suggestion:

At some point check_gpu should be taught about "3D controller" alongside VGA - here is one example [1]. I think there are a few other things to grep for - don't recall off-hand.

I kind of agree. Those 'should' generally be used on lapops only, but I tested some things and probably found a way to detect the description of available controllers via 'lshw -c display | grep -i "description"' on my Ubuntu machine. Just need to test if that will work on LE as well.

Thanks for the suggestion. Much appreciated.

grep -i -q -E 'intel|amd' might be better?
