I think you should look for (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/ 
xelatex/)geometry.cfg and (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/ 
xelatex/graphics/)graphics.cfg and (/usr/local/teTeX/share/ 
texmf.local/tex/xelatex/graphics/)xetex.def. And there's also a (/usr/ 
local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/xelatex/graphics/)color.cfg file.


When I mentioned "driver" I did not mean it literally, but the  
"mechanism" to convert from TeX to PDF, directly or by some  
successive approximation. That's when the CFG files come in. Finding  
out from the LOG file which CFG and DEF files where actually found by  
XeTeX you could have been able to find that the non-XeTeX versions  
were found and used. And these two are definitely wrong:

> 82:File: dvips.def 1999/02/16 v3.0i Driver-dependant file (DPC,SPQR)

And this leads to:

> 181:*hyperref using default driver hdvips*
> 183:File: hdvips.def 2003/11/30 v6.74m Hyperref driver for dvips

Since LOG file line #79 contains the key word "graphics" it's likely  
that you have no files in /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/ 
xelatex/graphics, or alike, or that your texmf.cnf file(s) miss to  
add search paths for XeTeX or you have some environment variables set  
that misguide XeTeX – what's not /so/ likely, because you managed  
already to create POOL and FMT files (but the scripts doing that job  
can have other environment variables)! I.e. you need to make XeTeX  
find the xelatex/graphics/graphics.cfg file.

Hyperref has native support for dvipfm/dvipfmx/xdvipdfmx.
