graphic_memory script uses lspci which is not available on most ARM systems

[Brendan Donegan]

The script graphic_memory uses lspci to determine the amount of video memory the GPU provides. Since lspci is not available on most ARM platforms (except ones that happen to use PCI), a replacement method may need to be found to determine that value. A good candidate is probably lshw.

size=256 is the important bit here

I will need to get access to some hardware with a graphics processor, I have a Pandaboard and a Nexus 7, so will check both of these.

Is this really in progress?
