NVIDIA – Driver 415.23 – Finally, Works with Kernel 4.20..
After the embarrassment of driver 415.22 not actually compiling with Kernel 4.20, NVIDIA have now released 415.23. Very brief details are here: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/141300/en-us
This version does compile with Kernel 4.20 (tested with 4.20-rc6) but shows repeated warnings:

Despite this, the driver does load/run OK with Kernel 4.20-rc6 (Tested with KDE/Plasma etc..).
