Sure, GL_*_memory_info extensions could help there but I think we
should be cautious with just adding such support to there. Over the
past few months I have seen various reports of users who run games
which say to require lets say 128MB of video memory and they just
don't work on Wine if you don't select a higher amount of video memory
in the registry. I haven't looked at this at all yet but perhaps the
current code has some tracking bugs or perhaps the fact that we don't
track video memory of managed resources perhaps confuses some games.
It could also be something else but perhaps you have seen things like
this.
