Keyboard and touchpad not working

hi ,
i’m using fedora 32 on asus x556
after updating kernel using dnf update from 5.6.6 to 5.8.8 , touchpad & keyboard do not work
i updated to kernel 5.8.9 but still not working
(mouse works well , touchpad & keyboard have the problem)
and no problem in 5.6.6
what’s the problem ?

Yes. I’ve read that some Asus notebooks have this problem with the kernel 5.8
As far as I understand, the whole keyboard is seen as a function key.
But I don’t know what is the working solution.
Try to look here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=257963
In other posts like that, they talk to modify xorg conf file, but if you use Wayland such solution can’t apply. Another suggestion is to create an udev rule.
