[SOLVED] I can't get my laptop built in keyboard working

I have an Asus S14 OLED with intel i5-12500H

The internal keyboard on this thing is not working. It is working until the GRUB menu but as soon as the SDDM loads it no longer works.

What I have tried:

- updating kernel
- loading and deffering i8042 drivers
- blacklisting intel_vbtn
- and adding some config to the keyboard file

Nothing worked for me. I also saw some people talking about kernel tweaks but that's something out of my league i guess. I have also emailed ASUS I will also update when I get some reply.

[EDIT]

It was a kernel level bug and was fixed in the mainline kernel version 6.1.0rc3

Boot into the TTY and see if it is working there:

And if not, some actual data like the system journal might provide .
Did you apply these parameters, https://askubuntu.com/a/1366165 ?

What about kernel hooks, did you check if you have hooks such as "keyboard" for initramfs?

[SOLVED] Ok so the mainline kernal 6.1.0rc3 has the patch already included but it still doesn't work in grub. To get it working in grub add "i8042.dumbkbd" to boot arguments in the /etc/default/grub and remake the grub that would get everything working fine.
