Hi,
I have got a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 ProX and have just installed EndeavourOS and the internal keyboard is not working. It suddenly worked shortly in between but has stopped again.
Here my hardware info:

I am new to EndeavourOS so please be patient with me.
Has anyone got any ideas please?
Thank you.
Hey there, does this help?
Also found this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/9kz0y8/lightdm_stuck_on_login_screen_password_doesnt/
Sorry I don’t have the answer but let me know how it goes 
hi @gustol @xross
welcome to the purple universe 
the first what you can try is to update your uefi(if it’s an old version), i hope you have on other partition windows, than it’s easier to update your uefi.
Hi,
I have tried the first option (CHUWI) but that did not work.
My keyboard was already not working with live-USB and during installation, so the reddit post does not feel applicable to me.
I was expecting to have the newest uefi-version but will check tomorrow and yes I do still have windows-partition too.
Thanks for the tips already

what does the following command show
dmesg | grep -i -e DMAR -e IOMMU
After some searching this seems to be a fairly common problem with the Yoga Slim 7.
These steps seemed to work for some people.
- Open /etc/default/grub and find GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line.
- Change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“i8042.direct i8042.dumbkbd”
- Run sudo update-grub
- Reboot
There you go:

I’ve tried that and when I try to run sudo update-grub it comes up with command not found
I’ve updated my uefi but still no change unfortunately
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo_Yoga_Slim_7_Pro_X_(14ARH7)
All I can do is search 
With your model series, there were often problems with the keyboard, there were patches for AMD, but I can’t find any information for Intel.
you can put the following kernel parameters in /etc/default/grub >>> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= :
if you have grub
intel_iommu=on iommu=pt
and then run
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
That seems to have done it! I am not quite trusting it yet, just because it has taken so long for me to find a solution but I have restarted since it has started working so it should be fine.
Thank you all so much for sticking with this and helping me out
