Hello newbie here though no stranger to Linux
I installed fedora 36 on Asus touchscreen laptop and both the keyboard and touchscreen are not working. I’ve searched and found threads for a workaround but don’t understand the process to correct. Is there any better step by step tutorial that I can learn to correct this problem myself? I really like this distro. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @mtnboy40 welcome to ask 
when you have a minute please take a look at Welcome to Ask Fedora! Please read me first!
It would be helpful to have additional information regarding the hardware you’re using:
inxi -FzxJ
Could you post a link to one of the threads containing a workaround?

I edited your post to add the preformatted text tags from the </> button on the top bar of the post window. Makes things posted from the screen easier to read since it retains the default formatting you see when you copy it.
I see you have logitech wireless mouse and keyboard. I have similar mouse and keyboard and whenever I see problems with using them I simply replace or recharge the batteries and the function is restored. Try that and report back as to the status.
Your keyboard is only reporting 55% and your mouse is not reporting battery status.
It seems the great majority of issues with wireless devices of any kind is seen when the batteries get low.

Please use the pre-formatted text </> when posting the output of commands. it’s much more legible. Thanks.
Can you also post the output of:
/usr/bin/cat /sys/class/dmi/id/chassis_type
Expecting this to be a 31 or a 32.
Edit: This turned out to not be relevant for this issue.
if it is not, could you try:
sudo rmmod intel_vbtn
and see if your laptop keyboard works.

Joe sorry but I don’t understand how to do that I copy from terminal and paste it in the email reply how do I get it into the format you want?
Rick Doerfler
No worries,
After you paste the text select it and then hit the </> button above the text.
It was 31

OMG the second command made it work! You are a genius. Thank you so much for your patience with me.
Rick Doerfler
Well it worked until I rebooted. Is there a way to make this permanent?
Rick Doerfler
echo blacklist intel_vbtn | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/intel_vbtn.conf
This will prevent this kernel module from loading.
That particular module handles the switching back and forth between tablet/laptop mode. This is probably a kernel bug specific to your model of laptop.

use the </> button in the toolbar above the post window and paste your text between the tags provided. Alternatively you can highlight the text after pasting it into the post then click that same button.
Well that certainly worked. typing on keyboard and touchpad working. I can’t thank you enough for your
patience in working this through for me. it’s a lovely distro now. Thank you again.

@computersavvy & @grumpey on post 8 there is a envelope visible, and the hover text says the OP replied with e-mail. I don’t think that he has on this occasion the “preformated-text” button available. And if he is new on markup text he also not knows the tags etc.
@mtnboy40 if you replay with e-mail you can just put a back-tick before and after your pasted text (without blanks, °code gets red°).
Back-ticks you make while pressing shift, press forward-tick twice.
If you want to do preformated text as code, you have to use three back-ticks ``` before and after pasted text like [replace ° with real backticks] like:
ººº
paste your textblock
