I've tested alpha and beta versions of fedora core, suse pro, sles,
sled, opensuse, and every version of ubuntu since 8.04, and the nvidia
drivers never worked in the alphas or the early betas. Sometimes they
were fixed in late betas, sometimes not until RC time.

I'd be willing to bet you a large sum of money that the nvidia drivers
will be working fine on lucid lynx by the time it's released :/
