What I don't understand is that you had this in your Xorg log:
(WW) NV(0): Failed to set up write-combining range (0xc0000000,0x8000000)
This is a warning coming from the nv driver which should not be loaded
anymore. I would now expect something like "nvidia driver/kernel module
cannot be loaded".

The GLX extension is activated automatically these days, I think.

The nividia glx module is loaded, but nvidia_drv is not used. The most
likely reason for this is that the nvidia kernel module cannot be
loaded. We should have seen an error message about this earlier, though
(in the xorg log). Maybe you still had the "nv" driver in your xorg.conf
when you posted the output of the EE/WW grep command, or the X server
had not been restarted?
I need to see the xorg error messages after a (failed?) start with the
nvidia driver; something is wrong in your configuration file if you
still have messages from the nv driver. (You can save the messages and
change back to the nv driver after that, if you need X to use your email
program.)
