Bib, as per the readme for your nvidia card's driver http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/96.43.20/README/appendix-b.html the nvidia 96.x series driver supports xorg up to 1.10. As xorg-server- lts-trusty is using xorg 1.15, it is incompatible with the nvidia driver.
Hence, if you want to continue using the nvidia 96.x series driver, you will have to use the original xorg and kernel stack as outlined in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack . Otherwise, you will need to use nouveau.
