Were you able to install the NVIDIA driver without the nomodeset setting? I can't think of any but...
Yes the hard way.
Could you tell me what the easy way and the hard way are?
The easy way is via yast or zypper Add the right repository, install the right NVDIA-drivers. For some reason I couldn't use this on TW. Maybe I should try it again. The hard way is via the console (init 3) Download the right driver from NVIDIA, boot into runlevel 3 install the driver sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-515.65.01.run answer a few questions. After install mkinitrd, then reboot. Prior to kernel 5.18..9.2 I could do this without nomodeset, but now I need to set nomodeset as I get a black screen.

There is certainly no mention of nomodeset. The rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau is a setting to avoid loading the nouveau module at startup, and NVIDIA's installer creates a blacklist to avoid conflicts when installing driver. See below.
$cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf
I don't have /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf. I do have /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.conf blacklist.conf contains: blacklist nouveau nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.conf contains: # generated by nvidia-installer blacklist nouveau options nouveau modeset=0
In your case, the setting "rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau" does not work and I can only assume that the phenomenon is caused by a conflict between the nouveau and NVIDIA drivers.

M> As said earlier before kernel 5.18.9-2 there was no need to set M> nomodeset.
Is it in a HARD WAY?
Yes indeed the hard way.

Thanks.
But, Xorg here refers to what you get by doing the following;
Sorry but I can't follow you here. Please explain.
