You mentioned that you have a GeForce 7300 card.
All GeForce 7300 (GT,GS,LE,SE and PCIe or AGP) cards have "3D hardware
acceleration". They should be recognized as such when booting F15.
What does 'lspci -d 10de:' say.

You are running the Nvidia driver. This requires a 'nomodeset' entry
in the kernel line of /boot/grub/grub.conf (if I remember correctly).
To switch to the nouveau driver you have to disable the nvidia driver.
Have you checked if the 'nomodeset' entry has been removed.

Also have a look at
system settings->system info->graphics->forced fallback mode->on/off
