As Reimar has spotted it, this is irrelevant.
There's no chance vidix works with your 7300 (or has ever worked) as 
this is an NV40+ architecture which do no longer support Overlay.
This has been replaced by texture blitting but is not yet implemented.

The nvidia driver doesn't work perfectly, that's for sure, but there's 
no chance it has ever worked on any NV40+ chipset.

This won't be fixed for rc2 anyhow.
