NVIDIA – New Driver Supports Kernel 6.19.. No Hacks Necessary..
NVIDIA have just release driver version 590.48.01, and details are here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/259042/
This compiles/loads/runs successfully with Kernel 6.19 (tested with 6.19-RC1):

make[1]: Leaving directory ‘/usr/src/linux-6.19-rc1’
As with the previous kernel-open hack, this only supports the newer RTX-type cards, and hopefully there will be an equivalent update for the 580.xx drivers soon, for GTX support..
