[Bug 1529324] [NEW] Attributes are not consistent

 

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 dev with nvidia-settings 352.21-0ubuntu1 and I'm
noticing that attributes are not always using the same unit. Here is an
example:

sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ nvidia-settings -q all | grep -E "Attribute '(TotalDedicatedGPUMemory|VideoRam)'"
  Attribute 'VideoRam' (ubuntu:0.0): 2097152.
  Attribute 'VideoRam' (ubuntu:0[gpu:0]): 2097152.
  Attribute 'TotalDedicatedGPUMemory' (ubuntu:0[gpu:0]): 2040.


VideoRam is shown in KiB while TotalDedicatedGPUMemory is shown in MiB.
