Sorry if this has been asked already, I've checked all over but didn't find anything related to my problem (at least specifically, also, I'm a newbie).

Anyway, here goes, I recently had to reinstall Ubuntu (12.04) after some tragic mishaps. I reformatted the HDD and everything, install ran without a hitch, but upon logging in, my system can't seem to detect or locate my Geforce 560GTX card.

What can I do and what other information do I need to put up?

Also, what are the commands to access them?

To get information about the GPU, you can run the commands:

sudo lshw -c display
lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 VGA

The open source driver "nouveau" is used for nVidia cards by default. The driver should be mentioned in the output of both commands. If the output of the first one mentions "UNCLAIMED", then there is no driver in use.
