Even non-3D-accelerated cards can often use on-board memory not used
for the virtual screen to store pixmaps and so on, and for
double-buffering.

Presumably Anthony is looking for some way to get at information about
the various buffers used by the card; the straightforward depth X
resolution computation is pretty obvious.
