I was puzzled to not that the former of the two is an rpm of zero bytes.
Why puzzled? I'm guessing it's just an empty RPM with a load of dependencies as a way of cleaning up the dependency chain.
Ok, I didn't rpm -ql to see what was in it, but as it listed as empty... and why wouldn't the driver rpm have the dependencies in it?
The driver rpm depends on all the specific driver RPMs. The 0 byte figure is because the driver RPM contains no files. But it means your kickstart (and the default install groups) can have xorg-x11-drv and doesn't need to be updated everytime they add a new driver (which'd be pretty annoying).
