Internal keyboard not working on laptop

General system Newbie
1

I installed endeavour os on my GPD Win Max 2 laptop using a USB keyboard and mouse. And everything works well except for the built in keyboard. I’ve checked that linux-firmware is already installed. Not sure what to do next, any help is appreciated (:

I went back to boot from the USB live installation, and it seems that the internal keyboard is working (as long as USB keyboard). This is the xinput, I noticed more inputs.

I’m looking through the kernel logs from journalctl and I found some USB devices which i don’t see in xinput, strange.

I should use wayland equivalent of xinput:

I believe this is the keyboard that’s not working:

I thought this might be a wayland issue, so I boot to X11 instead (by changing /etc/gdm/custom.conf). And this is my xinputs:

I’ve also tried enabling input 27. But I’m still not receiving any inputs on my internal keyboard.

Not really any idea for a solution but a way to identify the cause…

you can try to switch to a text console (the ctrl-alt-f1 stuff, not the gui-cli window) and test again. If it works there it points to the desktop environment (wayland?) you could try x11 instead and check if the error is gone. If it does not work there neither it seems to be a kernel/firmware/driver issue.

I’m thinking if I should use xfce instead.

I can’t login using internal keyboard so I don’t think text console will work :thinking:
