If you want to use nVidia's binary blob, then in general you should:

(a) enable rpmfusion repositories (you probably have done that already), and 
(b) do a "yum install akmod-nvidia".

The latter will blacklist nouveau driver, rebuild your initrd image so that 
nouveau doesn't get loaded on reboot, build the nVidia binary blob against 
your running kernel (preferably the latest one), and set up xorg.conf 
appropriately for nVidia driver to work. After that you must reboot for the 
whole thing to take effect.

Note, though, that this is generic advice. Since it appears you have been 
removing/installing packages randomly, something else might be broken as well. 
If the above procedure doesn't give you expected results, post the latest 
/var/log/Xorg.0.log again so that we can troubleshoot it further.

HTH, :-)
