Try and push this along.
Is this a packaging error ? As the Xorg file indicates:
4.976] (==) ModulePath set to "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
However, the nvidia directive does not exist there:
sysop@x1904:~$ ls -al /usr/lib/xorg/modules
total 864
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Nov 14 23:26 .
drwxr-xr-x
Update:
With today's update - kernel 4.18.0-11-generic and new nvidia files - the 390
version driver does install however does not load.
see the attached /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and /var/log/gpu-manager.log .
What is promising is 'lshw' shows the nvidia driver as loaded/
sysop@x1904:~$ sudo lshw -C
