n00b question

[Glenn Robuck]

I have yet to find a single machine (and I just tested it on all 8 in my
immediate vicinity) that the command I gave won't give you back the model
number of the card.

Can anyone provide an example of a machine where:

sudo lspci -v | grep VGA

doesn't give you the exact model of the video card?
