For no reason whatsoever, 3D is now working. At one point I installed the RPMs from MandarkeClub. They didn't work, so I uninstalled them and re- installed the drivers from the nVidia site. Still didn't work, of course, but this time my XFree config file had no trace whatsoever of the GLX in the module section, whereas it had alway either loaded glx or the path to the glx library file. Okay, so I added the Load "glx" line, re-started X, and voila: cube, in all it's glory.
A very frustrating ordeal, but it's over.
