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.
Sorry, wrong wording: there are only Intel kernel modules loaded and no Nvidia/Nouveau kernel modules.
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.
Like this: $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/99-blacklist-nvidia.conf blacklist nouveau blacklist nvidia blacklist nvidia_drm blacklist nvidia_modeset
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? Xorg.0.log?
inxi -Gxx reports: Graphics: Device-1: Intel UHD Graphics 630 vendor: Dell driver: N/A bus ID: 00:02.0 chip ID: 8086:3e9b Device-2: NVIDIA GP107GLM [Quadro P1000 Mobile] vendor: Dell driver: N/A bus ID: 01:00.0 chip ID: 10de:1cbb Display: tty server: X.org 1.20.4 driver: N/A tty: 227x82 Message: Advanced graphics data unavailable in console.

There is no Xorg.0.log, as I don't automatically start X on boot. However when launching it with nomodeset added, startx fails with not being able to load the i915.ko kernel module. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
