Title:
  Showing the framebuffer size

Status in “pciutils” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 dev with pciutils 1:3.1.9-6ubuntu3. lspci shows the following information about my graphics card: root at ubuntu:~# lspci -v -s 01:00.0
  01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600 GT] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
   Subsystem: Device 7377:0000
   Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18
   Memory at fd000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
   Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
   Memory at fa000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32M]
   I/O ports at b800 [size=128]
   [virtual] Expansion ROM at fe9e0000 [disabled] [size=128K]
   Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2
   Capabilities: [68] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
   Capabilities: [78] Express Endpoint, MSI 00
   Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel
   Capabilities: [128] Power Budgeting <?>
   Capabilities: [600] Vendor Specific Information: ID=0001 Rev=1 Len=024 <?>
   Kernel driver in use: nvidia

  There is no entry about the framebuffer size. I think it would be
  useful if lspci would show it too. In my case it would be 512 MiB like
  nvidia-settings is showing:

  root at ubuntu:~# nvidia-settings -q all | grep -E "Attribute '(TotalDedicatedGPUMemory|VideoRam)'"
    Attribute 'VideoRam' (ubuntu:0.0): 524288.
    Attribute 'VideoRam' (ubuntu:0[gpu:0]): 524288.
    Attribute 'TotalDedicatedGPUMemory' (ubuntu:0[gpu:0]): 512.

  Edit: Maybe it would be useful to have both values like nvidia-
  settings: The dedicated and total video memory size of the graphics
  card.
