Bug Description

In the System-Settings>details under the graphics setting it will report as "unknown graphics" until the package mesa-utils is installed. For some reason System Settings cannot determine the proper graphics driver and card unless that package is also present. Perhaps we should add mesa-utils to the default install to avoid this problem?
