Hi gilpel;
I repeat my warning. I am new at playing around with video drivers,
sockets and libraries. But I am willing to help if I can.

I don't think you should have them.

I did a 'locate' on each one of the files you show above first for
locate "/usr/lib64/nvidia/xxxxx.185.18.31" then for locate
"/usr/lib64/nvidia/xxxxx.185.18.14". No "185.18.31" were returned to
me, while exactly the same named files were returned as
"xxxxx.185.18.14".
rpm -qa kernel-devel returns
kernel-devel-2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.x86_64
and
rpm -qa akmod returns nothing.
In any case, what I think you wanted was akmod-nvidia. As I understand
it, akmod is a meta header file used to check if a Linux module has to
be built for the kernel for Fedora repo modules. akmod-nividia does the
same thing but for rpmfusion nvidia modules (drivers) that are outside
of the Fedora release -- which the "nvidia" driver is.
I am sending you a copy of the "185.18.14" files that are on my machine:
]$ locate /usr/lib64/nvidia/*.185.18.14
/usr/lib64/nvidia/libGL.so.185.18.14
/usr/lib64/nvidia/libGLcore.so.185.18.14
/usr/lib64/nvidia/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.185.18.14
/usr/lib64/nvidia/libcuda.so.185.18.14
/usr/lib64/nvidia/libnvidia-cfg.so.185.18.14
/usr/lib64/nvidia/libnvidia-tls.so.185.18.14
/usr/lib64/nvidia/libvdpau.so.185.18.14
/usr/lib64/nvidia/libvdpau_nvidia.so.185.18.14
/usr/lib64/nvidia/libvdpau_trace.so.185.18.14
I would make a hard copy of this post so that you have a list of your
and 185.14.31 files and my 185.18.14 files. Just in case. If something
goes wrong it can fixed from a text terminal or from the rescue disk.
Probably more caution than needed -- but ...
Next I would yum (yumex) remove kernel-headers and *kernel-devel* and
akmod. Then immediately re-install kernel-devel and akmod.
Next I would remove each one of the 185.18.31 items, checklisting that
nothing not on the list is removed as a dependency.
Next I would remove akmod-nvidia and any kmod-nvidia+kernelnumber
+version (185-18.14) and any other kernel+version you wanted.
akmod-nvidia kmod-nvidia-for-other kernels, xorg-x11-drv-nvidia+version
and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs+version should be included in the
removal dependencies list. You have to give yum enough time (3-4 sec)
for yum to update itself.
Next I would search for and install kmod-nvidia... 18.14 and
kmod-nvidia...2.3...18.14. akmod-nvidia, kmod-nvidia-for-other kernels,
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia+version and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs+version should
be included in the dependencies list. Double check that all the version
numbers are the same i.e. 185-18.14. Then process and restart.
I am not sure, but some of the 185.18.31 files above look like they may
not be video files but used by something else like gstreamer-bad or ugly
so make sure they are all replaced by 185.18.14.
