hi all !

very trivial things tend to go hard in Linux.... (and I have 3 years
of experience with Linux)
Under Windows, I can use "display properties" to find out how much
Video RAM I have.
But there it works only *after* drivers are installed.

how to do so under openSUSE ?

The best I found is "lspci -v -v" but it's very incorrect sometimes...
On some systems is shows the video RAM reliably... on others not at all.

Yast's Sax2 doesn't seem to show me this info at all.

So - is there any method that allows me to see how much VRAM I have?
one command line method ?
and one GUI method?
