NVIDIA – New Driver 418.30 – OK with Kernel 5.0..
NVIDIA has released driver 418.30, and details are here: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/142166/en-us
Although there is no mention of it in the ‘release notes’, this compiles/loads OK with Kernel 5.0 (tested with 5.0-rc4):

There is a note on this issue on: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1046879/unix-graphics-announcements-and-news/linux-solaris-and-freebsd-driver-418-30-beta-release-long-lived-branch-release-/
Fixed a build failure, “implicit declaration of function do_gettimeofday”,
when building the NVIDIA kernel module for Linux kernel 5.0 release
candidates.
Thanks for the link.. This is – obviously – a much better source of info than the release notes on the download site.!
