"yum localinstall …" on x86_64 gives weird reults:


  --> Processing Dependency: xorg-x11-drv-* for package: test-1.0-1.x86_64
  …
  ---> Package xorg-x11-drv-openchrome.i686 0:0.3.3-2.fc20 will be installed
  …
  [plus its i686 deps]


That's just one driver package, which the resolver chose out of several.
There are more for i686, which are not installed. And there are even more
x86_64 packages, which are not installed either.

  yum install xorg-x11-drv-*
  …
  Install  28 Packages (+15 Dependent packages)
