Roberto-

Bugzilla seems to be down right now <http://bugzilla.redhat.com> or I'd 
point you to the specific bug thread regarding NVidia drivers and Red 
Hat releases (if I recall correctly, it is one of the most active 
bugs), but the issue boils down to the fact that since NVidia releases 
their driver ONLY in a binary format (no source), Red Hat CAN AND WILL 
not help resolve any issues with the NVidia drivers.    Try checking 
out the NVidia Linux support forum at 
<http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14>  It is 
regularly visited by the NVidia Linux driver developer(s), and is a 
pretty active forum.  Someone there should probably be able to help you 
out.   Hope this helps,
