On my notebook:

hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Nvidia Corporation'
device = 'GeForce2 MX Ultra [NV11]'
class = display
subclass = VGA
and on my desktop:
none1@pci1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x87831462 chip=0x017210de rev=0xa3
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Nvidia Corporation'
device = 'GeForce4 MX 420 [NV17.3]'
class = display
