Is it possible to find the exact configuration and model of your systems graphics card in Ubuntu 10.10?

The quickest (non-graphical) way to this is to run lspci | grep VGA
in a terminal.
If you want you can also install hardinfo on your system, and when you launch it (system benchmark and profiler in the system menu), you can find your graphics information easily.
See this image for an example.

Hi Roland, I have edited out a broken image link (cf. the previous version). It's maybe worth going over your old posts and seeing which other bit.ly links have rotted?– E.P.Feb 8, 2017 at 11:46

@E.P. There are a lot of them. If you want to edit them, replace with

(orhttp://hostmar.co/software-large
orhttp://hostmar.co/software-banner
as appropriate). See meta.askubuntu.com/a/1853/158442 and meta.askubuntu.com/a/395/158442– muruFeb 8, 2017 at 11:59 -
1The problem with lspci is that, it does not show the integrated graphics card! I have one enabled but it wont show up on lspci results! the funny thing is I am using both at the moment!– HosseinDec 2, 2018 at 17:05
Use
$ sudo lshw -C display
*-display
description: VGA compatible controller
product: G73 [GeForce 7600 GT]
vendor: nVidia Corporation
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0
version: a1
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm msi pciexpress vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom
configuration: driver=nvidia latency=0
resources: irq:16 memory:fd000000-fdffffff memory:c0000000-cfffffff memory:fc000000-fcffffff ioport:8c00(size=128) memory:fe7e0000-fe7fffff
$sudo inxi -F -x
(case sensitive) Will give a nice summary of your system, easy to read. Use the switch -G for just graphics. But it doesn't show video RAM, though one should be able to google the reported graphics for what it 'should' have. I also like the graphical 'hardinfo' which summarizes hwinfo (I think) will give more but still doesn't report graphics memory that I can see
$sudo dmesg |grep VRAM
will show how much video ram you have.
Also
glxinfo -B
lspci, lshw, hwinfo seem to just report the prefetch (often 512mb) or reports each module in hex format
