judging from the output below, I do not have Intel drivers installed. How do I do that?
Messa and other packages are already installed on my system (Ubuntu 15.04).
No traces of intel GPU anywhere in Ubuntu/NVidia settings, it is enabled in BIOS though.
My aim is to set up 3 monitors.
Thanks,
Gin

So, it appears that the Intel driver is present and loading. However, as to why you are getting "unclaimed" in lshw, I would need to research this more, if this is even a problem. Am I correct in assuming that this is a desktop system and you are using a Nvidia graphics add-on card? If so, this is what you are going to use for your three monitors.

you are correct. This is a desktop system. NVidia is set as the primary graphics card.
Ideally, I would like to set up 3 displays, e.g. 2 monitors connected to NVidia and 1 - to Intel.
The Intel card definitely works. Ubuntu disk decryption window is shown on the monitor connected to the Intel graphics card and then during the boot it switches to NVidia output.
It must be something with the OS configuration. Not sure where to look though.
