VESA FB != Nvidia FB != X Driver

VESA frame buffer code relies on gfx cards having implemented an old
'common' standard. If there was an Nvidia fb driver, you could probably
get various extra features switched on for your fb console. Not sure
there is an Nvidia framebuffer driver even.

The X driver for your Nvidia card is a completely different kettle of
fish. Besides, you can disable that Nvidia logo when X starts up. Have a
gander at the README that comes with the Nvidia drivers.
