If I switch off “Hybrid Graphics/Advanced Optimus” in the laptops UEFI setup I get only a black screen when booting into Tumbleweed. According to Dells docs : “If deselected the internal display and the left side Thunderbolt ports will be driven by the discrete graphics controler”

I guess that you have installed the Nvidia kernel driver but you miss the other nvidia-G07 packages needed for graphical output to a display.S. Dirsch’s blog might be a good reference for further details.

You are missing the kernel module package…sudo zypper in nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-meta
@hui no, they are out of sync version wise… as in no 595.80 version of the meta package…
@mkossmann zypper in nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-default should give 595.80_k7.0.11_1-2.3 to match the installed packages…
I have;

This was explained quite often by the package maintainer. The meta package can have a lower version number. He only updates the minor version and the meta package takes care that the highest available matching set of packages get installed.
With the G07 series you only have to install nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-meta, and all other needed packages get automatically installed as dependency.
The cuda kmp is an other story.

boots into a black screen : Mouse cursor working, but no sddm login screen . That seems to be a Plasma/X11 problem . With Plasma/Wayland I get the login screen. But still no Nvidia GPU according to lsgpu and switcherooctl. Even if I enforce it in the UEFI setup. Then I get only low resolution fallback
@mkossmann It could also be related to a recent (very long) thread with folks having issues with the Nvidia driver and a patch introduced. This could result in a regression for your Blackwell gpu…
If you add initcall_blacklist=sysfb_init to the kernel boot options what happens?
Ref: https://forums.opensuse.org/t/black-screen-on-nvidia-after-updating-to-20260428/193454
This kernel parameter seems to fix the Plasma/X11 Blackscreen. But the Nvidia GPU still isn’t listed by switcherooctl
@mkossmann then that is a regression… if you run the command nvidia-smi what happens?
Your going to have to create a bug report I suspect…
