Probing videoram using ATIFGLEXTENSION

[Roderick Colenbrander]

Hi,

Myself I have written similar code before just for testing but something like this can't be easily added to Wine. First of all adding new ExtEscape calls is not an option, second in the near future I will drop all X code from wined3d. I was planning to add videoram detection code once I'm done with the opengl32 and wined3d rewrite. A new function call needs to be exported in a win32-like way from winex11.drv.

The use of NV-CONTROL and friends is in the end a little better than what we do now (just setting the ram to a fixed value). The problem is that we don't want the amount of memory on the videocard but the amount of available video memory which also includes (direct accessable) system memory (AGP, TurboCache) aswell. Further even if this special type of system memory wasn't included things like the framebuffer and other things are part of it aswell.
