Agreed.
So the best command until now has been:

"grep -i ram /var/log/Xorg.0.log"

Please test it... maybe we can ask for a feature-request on openSUSE
bugzilla to make this feature easier ? i.e. viewable by one command
(w/o parameters), and perhaps Yast?

Because as I said in the original post, there are hundereds of small
things in Linux, even for experienced Linuxoids, that make life hard.
:(

such a simple thing like asking for video RAM took a long discussion
among Linuxoids.... terrible.
