Hello all, I’m new here
Hardware: Medion Signium S1 OLED (MSN 30040793)
Kernel: 6.19.6-200.fc43.x86_64
Distro that problem appears on: Debian and Fedora Workstation 43 (and presumably all distros)
I recently got a new laptop which I am happy with. However, I am experiencing that my keyboard is completely non-responsive unless some start parameters are used, in which case the input is totally wrong, gets repeated infinitely and blocks the trackpad from being used. After looking through various forums and debugging with Claude, I still have not found a solution. It might be a kernel problem, but I am not sure. I have looked around and found that there have been similar issues with Medion laptop keyboards in the past, but unfortunately none of the solutions there work for me.
Here is a copypaste of the problem description that I wrote on another forum. Further down below is my systems information. I really hope someone out there can help. I don’t wanna be stuck with Windows 
The internal keyboard does not work at all in Linux, not even the capslock button works. The keyboard works in Windows and in GRUB and the touchpad works fine. An external keyboard also works fine.
On Windows, the keyboard is exposed through this device chain:
INTC816 (Intel Innovation Platform Framework)
→ ButtonConverter\ConvertedDevice
→ HID keyboard (kbdhid driver)
DEVPKEY_Device_Service: kbdhid
DEVPKEY_Device_Stack: \Driver\kbdclass, \Driver\kbdhid, \Driver\mshidkmdf
On Linux INTC816 does not appear to have a driver. It does not appear in /sys/bus/acpi/devices/ or /sys/bus/ishtp/devices/. The Intel ISH modules are loaded (intel_ishtp_hid, intel_ish_ipc, intel_ishtp), but only a sensor hub (8087:0AC2) is present on the ISHTP bus. The keyboard is not enumerated there
ACPI devices with INTC prefix: INTC1001, INTC1046, INTC1048, INTC1055, INTC1078, INTC1092, INTC109C, INTC10A0-A5. No INTC816.
The BIOS presents a PS/2 emulator via i8042, but it produces corrupted scancodes. Examples:
- H shows 0x20 (Set 1: D)
- A shows 0x03 (undefined in Set 1)
Boot parameters tested:
i8042.nopnp=1 i8042.direct=1 → corrupted input
i8042.nopnp=1 i8042.direct=1 atkbd.set=1 → corrupted input
8042.nopnp=1 i8042.direct=1 atkbd.set=2 → corrupted input
i8042.nopnp=1 i8042.nomux=1 i8042.reset=1 i8042.notimeout=1 → no input
acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=“Windows 2013” → no input
dmesg:
i8042: PNP detection disabled
