I am trying to install Age of Empires III on my PC under Playonlinux, but I am having some problems with graphics memory. It asks for the graphics memory on the installer.

I tried what some tutorials suggested, but they are designed for one card. I have two (both ATI) to support my two VGA monitors. Can someone please say how I could find the memory?

  • lspci -v | grep -iA2 memory will show you enough info, if that what you're looking for.

The command dmesg shows lots of information about system hardware. To see all of that you should edit Terminal preferences to check unlimited scrollback.

However it seems you can find out graphics memory by:

dmesg | grep -i graphics

I tried it on two systems and get outputs including a same line like:

[drm] Memory usable by graphics device = 2048M

You can also find AGP and GTT units using dmesg | grep -i agp and dmesg | grep -i gtt. (The -i option makes it ignore case distinctions.)

I hope this will help.
