Someone has wires crossed here. This:

"added nomodeset and rdblacklist=nouveau to grub.conf"

has nothing to do with 3D support using nouveau. You absolutely should
not do it if you're using nouveau, it will break nouveau and cause you
to get vesa instead. You only do that stuff if you're using the
proprietary nvidia driver, not if you're using nouveau.
