The 8800 GTS is claimed to be supported, but is broken due to libwfb.
The dupe you reported seems to have an ongoing issue with the fix being
rejected or may be merged with another bug fix. I will mark it a dupe
nevertheless. Let me know if you have any other info. As I said, the
8800 GTS is reported to not be working, yet it is claimed to be
supported by the nvidia-glx-new package. This has been confirmed by
numerous reports...
