update-pciids will do the trick, but lspci doesn't matter here anyway.

0:2:1 is not another graphic board, it is a kind of fake ID that old windows
used to manage the second screen or so. X does not need it (and can't
use it).
So it doesn't matter either.
What matters is only the kinds of outputs that may be plugged (VGA, DVI,
...).
If you only have a signle VGA output, then either the driver is buggy,
or there's a hidden second VGA output somewhere.
You might want to check in the BIOS in case something rings a bell.
