This seems like the wrong way to go. I'm wondering if there is another way to detect VRAM? There should be a way to determine VRAM from Xorg? Why should OpenGL or DirectDraw be the method that Wine uses to determine video RAM? Why should Wine have a fixed value based on a list? Maybe I'm being stupid, but I think it would make sense for the display server (xorg) to know how much VRAM a graphics card has...
