We rarely get the answer posted here as to what fixed the problem so I am going to say how and why.
I replaced 3 computers that were connected to a HDMI KVM switch
with newer computers that only have Display Ports. The nvme drives
were swapped and the network came up fine but on a DHCP address
that I could ssh into and correct the ip address.
I had some old Display Port to HDMI adapters from my previous job - 4 old ones and 4 still in the package.
It turned out that some of the old ones did not pass the EDID data to OpenSUSE so the i915 driver saw no monitor.
One of the adapters did and by luck was attached to my Tumbleweed machine and it did the EDID.
The second Tumbleweed did not have a display and I checked every BIOS option and they were identical on both machines.
While updating the bugzilla - it dawned on me to swap the video cables on the two boxes and the video stayed with the cable.
I opened 2 new DP to HDMI adapters that I bought last month and -
voila - video on all computers.

I went out and bought a new 12th generation Intel box to do VirtualBox testing on and moved the nvme from my gen 10 5080 to the gen 12 5000.
It has the UHD 770 graphics processor but does not display video on the Monitor - the BIOS does and the grub menu displays fine.
Hmm, no output detected.
dmesg please.
full dmesg is here for a week: https://paste.opensuse.org/
Here is what dmesg has on the video as I see it.
