A little tool that I like to use-It will show up in Applications>System Tools. Launch Sysinfo and it should tell you what you want to know.Code:sudo apt-get install sysinfo
Why can't life have a sudo apt-get install -f command?
Install VMWare Server 2 on a text-only system
Need help getting your printer working in Linux?
It's all about choice, right? Then stop flaming Windows users.
I tried sysinfo and it only told me the name of my graphics card not the vram. Any other way to see/change the vram or/and video driver while i'm at it?
Kubuntu 9.04
Trident onboard Video
Sometimes the best way to learn is to help.

Ubuntu Is My Friend | PalaceQuadrant.net The Nets Unknown.
Laptop Dell XPS M1530 | Dual-Boot: Vista 64BIT & WUBI Ubuntu 10.04 amd64 | 6 GB RAM | Core2 Duo @ 2.40GHz | GeForce 8600M GT 512 MB
or there is another command lspci -vv | less and search for your video card name
Hi,
You could try installing hardinfo.
You could then run hardinfo by command, or look in your menu for "System Profiler and Benchmark".Code:sudo apt-get install hardinfo
It shows my video card memory under pci devices.
The bad news is it reports mine as a 256mb (shared memory) card, but actually mine is a 512mb pci-e MSI/Nvidia 8400GS. nvidia-settings shows my correct memory. I hope you can find your onboard card memory specs in there too.

Short answer, look up your cards model at the manufacturers website. You can find the display card using:
Code:lshw -businfo | grep -i display
What about the dmidecode command?
sudo dmidecode --type 10
