Changing video memory in 1.12

Hey
I've just downloaded the new SL 1.12 client, and after having a quick play I went to change the amount of video memory I've got.
I went to settings.xml, the same place this setting was last time (1.11), but while the file still has some options, they seem to be mostly gone.
As a result, there's no longer an option there to change the video memory.

Has this setting been relocated to another file, or should I just add the line anyway?

Update: Just adding the line to the end of the file seems to work fine.
For those without an old settings.xml, the line should be:
<GraphicsCardMemorySetting value="4"/>
(4 means 256MB memory, use 5 for 512, or 3 for 128, 2 for 64, 1 for 32 and 0 for 16)

You just add that line to the file, anywhere between the two <settings> tags.

I still see the line in the settings.xml files for me. Just add it back in.
