Thing is, what you've posted makes no sense to me.
>>> that first one appears to have a dependency on
"NVidia-x11-drv-304xx = 304.135" and I can't find that package
anywhere - I've checked CentOS
In short, you're saying that
nvidia-x11-drv-304xx-304.135-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm requires
NVidia-x11-drv-304xx = 304.135

I find this hard to believe, given you're really saying it requires itself.

How about you don't summarise what you've done, but download again the
files
you think you need, and paste actual output when you get errors.

jh

I copied the error message exactly as it was on the screen

As John said, you are mistaken:

Just 'cd' to the directory where you have place the 3 RPMs you mentioned
earlier:

nvidia-x11-drv-304xx-304.135-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
kmod-nvidia-304xx-304.135-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
nvidia-x11-drv-304xx-32bit-304.135-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm


and install them with yum:

yum install nvidia-x11-drv-304xx-304.135-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm 
kmod-nvidia-304xx-304.135-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm 
nvidia-x11-drv-304xx-32bit-304.135-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

and you are done.

There are no additional dependencies that are not in CentOS.
