So now you have the 275 nvidia driver working. that sounds good.

You should pay attention to the following lines from your log:

[ 24.507] (WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "480x360"; removing.
[ 24.507] (II) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes:
[ 24.507] (II) NVIDIA(0): "1280x960"
[ 24.507] (II) NVIDIA(0): "1152x864"
[ 24.507] (II) NVIDIA(0): "1024x768"
[ 24.507] (II) NVIDIA(0): "832x624"
[ 24.507] (II) NVIDIA(0): "800x600"
[ 24.507] (II) NVIDIA(0): "640x480"
[ 24.507] (II) NVIDIA(0): "320x240"
[...]
[ 24.509] (WW) NVIDIA(0): 32-bit ARGB GLX visuals are only supported in depths 24 and
[ 24.509] (WW) NVIDIA(0): 30.
[ 24.509] (WW) NVIDIA(0): Disabling 32-bit ARGB GLX visuals.
[...]
[ 24.761] (WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "PreferredMode" is not used


For the 3d support, if you refer to "ARGB GLX visuals", seems to be enough if you set
the color depth to 24bit in XFdrake -> Options.
Cauldron is not for the faint of heart!
