I tried the sample program on my Linux box (radeon M9, 64 mb vram) and I don't think that it reported correct values. It said 32 mb textures, not all resident. While I have a 1400x1050 resolution I don't think it eats 32 mb vidmem.
The amount of texture memory and the amount of video memory is not the same.
