Video Card Memory
Hi,
I have an integrated Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400. Unless somebody already knows, I was wondering how do I find how much Video RAM this card has? Is there a linux command for it, or anything similar?

I tried the command and it returned nothing.
Using the command as a non-root user gives me:
Code:
klogctl: Operation not permitted

What distribution are you using?
Try
Code:
cat /var/log/dmesg | grep VRAM
You may have to run the command as root if your kernel config restricts user access to dmesg. |

I ran the command as a non-root user and root.
The second command you gave has given me the same output message as the first one, giving me nothing. Using it as a non-root user gives me the same message as before, except instead of just "dmesg" it's "/var/log/dmesg".
I'm using Slackware 13.37 64-bit.

Is the graphics integrated in the motherboard or the CPU?
You may want to poke around in BIOS.

It is integrated, but I'm not quite sure, I believe it's with the motherboard. Is there a way to confirm this?

You'd do better to check in your BIOS (though you may, or may not be bale to see or set the video 'shared' memory there, depends on the BIOS) |
