You only want one of those.
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia is for the recent cards.
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-96xx is for older cards.

Which rpm provides your nvidia.ko?

rpm -qa |grep "kmod\-nvidia"

should tell you which driver you have.
It looks like you currently have xorg packages for more than one variant 
of the nvidia driver and that shouldn't happen.
