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?

Try lspci -v and look for your video card. In my case it shows: -------------------------------------- 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV25 [GeForce4 Ti 4400] (rev a3) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: Chaintech Computer Co. Ltd: Unknown device 1911 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 248, IRQ 177 Memory at fa000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] Memory at f8f80000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=512K] [virtual] Expansion ROM at fbee0000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [44] AGP version 2.0 -------------------------------------- Which is a 128M memory video card. If it is nvidia, IIRC, nvidia-settings should show the amount of memory aswell (in GUI). /Sylvester
