Laptop Keyboard & Trackpad No Worky

[sixty]

Title explains most of it. My laptop keyboard simply will not register anything in FreeBSD. USB attached keyboard does work, but the actual in built keyboard does not, and neither does the trackpad. FreeBSD recognizes said keyboard (I believe as an atkbd? I dunno what that is). Everything else on the system seems to work. Attached is the output of dmesg | grep -i kbd and my hardware probe. If you look through this account's previous forum posts I have detailed this issue before and quit trying to use FreeBSD for about a year but I decided to come back to it.

Probe:

HW probe of ASUSTek ASUS TUF Gaming A16 ... #e08951307d

Thread 'Laptop Keyboard & Trackpad Doesn't work'

Dec 22, 2023

Hey there Im extremenly new to FreeBSD however my laptop's keyboard and trackpad doesnt work. The keyboard does work on the initial booting screen, pressing enter lets me boot before autoboot, however once im in my system my keyboard doesn't work and I have to do everything with my external keyboard, once I get into an X session on gnome xorg or XFCE the trackpad begins to work but doesnt work in tty and the keyboard still won't work. Also would be nice if anyone could help me with this one other issue, my laptop display can support up to 165hz but is locked at 60 for some reason, though...
