Nope, I have blacklisted everything from Nvidia & Nouveau, so only the Intel driver should be running.
Actually it likely shouldn't. Intel pays its Linux driver writers to put most of their effort into the FOSS modesetting DDX driver. The xf86-video-intel DDX is in maintenance mode, having had no official release since 2015.
Also, I tried the Tumbleweed rescue disk: that one will start booting, but at some point the laptop screen just turns off and that's it.
Exactly how did you "blacklist" nouveau? Do it wrong, and you might block all DDX drivers. Precision 5530 is a model line, not a model. Which do you have? Better yet, what is output from 'inxi -Gxx' (which reports both kernel and DDX drivers, among other useful video info if X is running)? What does cat /proc/cmdline report?
