Actually no Nvidia never supported VESA, it just happened to work.

Are you so sure?
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/173.14.09/README/chapter-19.html:
First sentence: *The NVIDIA Accelerated Linux Graphics Driver supports
all standard VGA and VESA modes*
Wow, you guys are now mixing up *three* things!
Like I said, one thing is the vesa standard, and the other is a linux driver
called vesafb. These are not one and the same! Now you've added a third thing
into the mix - vesa modes. They are modes defined by the standard.
I do not see what I have mixed up, I never said anything about vesafb,
only the VESA standard, also I have not talked about defining any modes,
only another driver option to use instead of the proprietary.
I think you're the one "mixing" up what we have written.
