How do I determine which graphics card is being used?

My brand spanking new laptop[1] comes with nVidia "optimus"[2] technology.

I wasn't expecting Linux support (yet) But I was expecting Ubuntu to
recognize my nVidia GeForce GT 325M card.
It shows up ($ lspci) but how do I tell if Ubuntu is using it, or the
onboard Intel graphics?
Also this laptop runs hotter under Ubuntu than it does under Windows 7
(maybe that's my clue that Ubuntu is indeed using the nVidia card?).
Thanks.
Scott
