It seems that mesa-utils is not installed by default. After I installed it it recognized my video card.

Should I submit a bug report about that ?

So if mesa-utils is to be promoted and handled in Precise then where is
the bug task for Precise to ensure this issue will be followed up?
Is there another bug that tracks this issue? Thanks.
