You need to download and install the NVIDIA drivers which are NOT preinstalled in the RH CD's.
 
Follow all the information on this page. http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=linux_display_1.0-3123
 
You will need to do all of this in CUI mode (not graphical).  And you will also need the kernel-source installed.   Check that by doing rpm -qa | grep kernel and look for the like.
 
Kind of vague I know but the NVIDIA pages are extremely helpful.  And also if you really read their directions you'll notice they have a test Config file in one of their directories that should work.  And if I could suggest one last final thing.  I would you their directions from install the .src.rpm file because it will be more attuned to RH 8.
