Vidix doesn't know about VGA or VESA, it uses only the card's specific registers. It detects the GeForce 7600 GS by checking for the device id from its pci database, then plays with the card's registers and provides a pointer to the frame buffer, but unfortunately something fails on the way. The video modes are not set by Vidix, Vidix expects the video modes to be set by the "graphics server". Anyway, Vidix's NVIDIA driver is "in the beta stage" and "untested".

Strangely enough, I haven't noticed such a thing yet. But I saw that -vsync and -framedrop doesn't work always as expected.
