On Mac OS X /usr/sbin/system_profiler -xml returns the system profile
in xml. The tag spdisplays_vram gets you the VRAM size.

I need to know the total video memory of the user's graphics card,

Preferably cross-platform, but platform-specific if need be?
GraphicsDevice.getAvailableAcceleratedMemory is useless, because it
reports -1 when the card can accelerate out of system memory, which
means it pretty much always reports -1 on all cards, because any
AGP or PCIE card can do that.
I found a tech note for how to do this with Objective C:
And there seems to be a windows way using Direct3D:
GetAvailableTextureMem
I'm using JOGL in this app, but the OpenGL guys seem really intent
on keeping applications from getting a straight answer to this
simple question.
I'm hoping there's a less nasty way to do this from my Java app.
Any leads?
