Hi miguelinux and thanx for your help!
I used your method and the kernel line was added to the bootloader. A much better way than mine because I added it directly to the conf and the next clr-boot-manager update will wipe it.
Unfortunately the result after installing the nvidia driver was still the same white screen.
How can I be sure that the module is not loaded / used? I use
sudo lspci -vs 00:02.0
which gives me:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 3e94 (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: Lenovo Device 2269

Kernel driver in use: i915
I interpret this that the driver i still in use. This
sudo lsmod | grep ^nvidia gives me:
nvidia_uvm 823296 0
nvidia_drm 45056 0
nvidia_modeset 1110016 1 nvidia_drm
nvidia 18767872 2 nvidia_uvm,nvidia_modeset
nvidiafb 53248 0
Any more Ideas? I really like clear linux but a non working nvidia setup is a showstopper for me.
Cheers
