ATI and NVidia both have extensions to X that return the total video memory on the card, other options include using code from the DRI project, and I've got some very old dos code for some Matrox cards. Since there is no standard way to find out the amount of video ram available were going to have to maintain different versions for different cards until the day that there's a standard X extension.
So, for the nvidia: should I use the output of 'nvidia-settings -q VideoRam' or rather use the nv_control extension directly?
I would say it's better to use the extension if it exists (I expect all that calling nvidia-settings -q VideoRam will do is to call the extension)
