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?

The amount of RAM your video card has is displayed on the (top) screen when you press the ON switch to boot your computer. It's been displayed here now for as long as I can remember with all the various cards I've had installed over the years and so it should also be in your case. Have a look next time you (re)boot.
