i''m developing an app and need to know the total amount of texture memory any given piece of hardware has so i know to either dynamically lower the res of the textures i bind, or to disallow the loading of more graphics. i read on the DevIL page that glGetIntegerv is the way to get this info, but after looking over the param list I am unable to determine which to use... i can find the maximum texture size - 256*256 etc...but not what i''m looking for. can anyone point me in the right direction? thanks in advance.... btw-> i''d be using devil, but i want to try to market this app and i''m not sure how that would work with the gnu lesser license... jason

Basically:

Include a copy of the LGPL with your application and make sure to note the libraries which you are using which are under the LGPL.

Make sure you dynamically link to all LGPL libraries (as opposed to staticly linking to them). The user must be able to update/replace/whatever the LGPL libraries, and this makes it easy for them to do that.

Include the source code to all of the LGPL libraries you use.
