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.
If the driver outputs the amount of memory it found, it is the most reliable source for this information. Start the Xserver with 'X -logverbose 9 :0' (or use :1 if you're already running X), then kill the Xserver (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) and check /var/log/Xorg.0.log (.1.log, respectively) for some line from the driver that tells you how much graphics memory it found. That particular line can differ from driver to driver, so you have to check for yourself.
