It seems that there are some confusion with kmod-nvidia Which one?
Please provide the full yum output. I cannot see what is wrong from the snippet that you gave.
yum install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia works fine and install: xorg-x11-drv-nvidia i686 1:319.32-7.fc19 kmod-nvidia-3.9.9-302.fc19.i686.PAE i686 1:319.32-1.fc19 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs i686 1:319.32-7.fc19

Also, keep in mind that there is a "kmod-nvidia" driver for the "recent" nvidia graphics cards, then there is another "kmod-nvidia-304xx" driver for the "older" cards, and finally there is a "kmod-nvidia-173xx" driver for "ancient" cards.
It would be a good idea to figure out which hardware you actually have,
lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV515/M54 [Mobility Radeon X1400]
and then install the appropriate driver. You have the details spelled out here:
http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia
(although I'd say that this howto is a tad bit outdated, but it's still mostly correct).
HTH, :-) Marko

This is surreal! :-D
Ok, you should really do the following:
yum remove *-nvidia* reboot
After that, go to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia
and read the very first paragraph of the article, nothing more. Just the first paragraph. Or just the last two sentences of the first paragraph. Or better yet, here, let me quote them to you:
<begin quote> Nvidia and chief rival AMD Graphics Technologies (formerly ATI Technologies) have dominated the high performance GPU market, pushing other manufacturers to smaller, niche roles. Nvidia's primary GPU product line labeled "GeForce" is in direct competition with AMD's "Radeon" products. <end quote>
The words "rival" and "competition" should suggest an important clue here...

I reinstall a fedora 19 and I am experiencing troubles with the graphics apparently. With the previous installation fedora 14. I had to install: xorg-x11-drv-nvidia nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs and run: nvidia-xconfig
I really really wonder how well that F14 installation worked, and who gave you the advice to install those packages...
