Is there a way to test this patch with the 418 driver? I have an RTX 2070, which is not supported by the 390 driver, but I'd really like my battery life back.

When I try to follow the instructions from the report, but replacing 390 with 418, it doesn't work (predictably).

$ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-418/bionic-proposed gdm3/bionic-proposed ubuntu-drivers-common/bionic-proposed nvidia-prime/bionic-proposed nvidia-settings/bionic-proposed libnvidia-gl-418/bionic-proposed libnvidia-compute-418/bionic-proposed libnvidia-decode-418/bionic-proposed libnvidia-encode-418/bionic-proposed libnvidia-ifr1-418/bionic-proposed libnvidia-fbc1-418/bionic-proposed

It may be worth noting that nvidia-prime and nvidia-settings are also not found, even though their names don't include the driver version.
