While I have no idea whether Red Hat works with nVidia or not (I doubt
it), I should point out that 8.0.94 ("Phoebe 3") is not a "new release"  
but a beta for the next release.  You shouldn't really expect nVidia to
provide support for beta editions, and indeed they've clearly said they
won't.  There's no reason to expect that non-support on the beta means
that nVidia won't quickly release packages for Red Hat Linux 8.1 (?) when
it's released.
