If you are affected I recommend switching to LTS kernel until this issue is fixed. You can do so by running sudo zypper in kernel-longterm -kernel-default
You should get output similar to this:
Refreshing service 'NVIDIA'.
Refreshing service 'openSUSE'.

Problem: 1: the installed nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-default-595.71.05_k7.0.5_1-2.3.x86_64 requires 'ksym(default:__acpi_video_get_backlight_type) = 727e57a3', but this requirement cannot be provided
deleted providers: kernel-default-7.0.3-1.1.x86_64
Solution 1: deinstallation of nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-default-595.71.05_k7.0.5_1-2.3.x86_64
Solution 2: keep kernel-default-7.0.5-1.1.x86_64
Solution 3: break nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-default-595.71.05_k7.0.5_1-2.3.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Make sure kmp package is going to change from kmp-default to kmp-longterm.
nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default → nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-longterm
nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default → nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-longterm
nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-default → nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-longterm
After running the command, run zypper se -si nvidia kernel-default kernel-longterm and check that version of Nvidia packages match version kmp-longterm and version of kmp-longterm after k matches kernel-longterm. It’s OK if version of kmp-meta doesn’t match the rest. If anything else doesn’t match you’ll have to manually install correct version by specifying version after package name to zypper in like this: sudo zypper in nvidia-userspace-meta-G07-595.71.05-15.1. If zypper says The selected package has lower version than the installed one. you need to also add --oldpackage flag, command would look like this: sudo zypper in --oldpackage nvidia-userspace-meta-G07-595.71.05-15.1. To look up versions of a package use zypper se -s name-of-the-package
For reference output of zypper se -si nvidia kernel-default kernel-longterm should look similar to this:

Only after verifying that reboot. Ignoring step above might cause broken Nvidia driver and you won’t be able to log in. If that happens you’ll have to rollback using snapper.
