Hi Guys, so when i dual boot kali it Seems that kali doesn’t detect my keyboard or trackpad. How ever when I use external ones , it does. I have tried updating aswell as reforming my usb. The machine I currently use is an Asus Vivobook S14. With American Megatrends motherboard.. please don’t reply with “don’t install kali if ur new” I have been working with kali for several years now and never had to deal with this problem. I also can’t seem to find the potential drivers I’m missing for the machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1st take a minute to try this wild-Goouess: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1053...053207#1053207

Then this Goo'ed: linux keyboard Asus Vivobook S14

Have you tried any distro other than [the four letter LQcussWord]? (Best LQ work around short of going to /r/kali*)

P. S. A week or two later:
OP hasn't logged in since posting. (IDK IF they see the replies without logging in; maybe they found the missing Asus Vivobook S14/15 kernel drivers mentioned below)

See today's https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216158#c63

Hello Reeves, & welcome to LQ.

You're new here. Have a read of this linux-newbie-8/using-kali-linux-please-read

See Kali as a pen-testing tool, to be used through your wired network card. Kali is not an OS, really - no drivers or firmware. People who do pen-testing pick up or borrow another keyboard if they have issues, they don't post on forums. Delete it unless you're learning loads from the experience.

It is a default setting in XFCE. You have to turn it on.

�� XFCE

Enter XFCE Settings.
Select the Mouse and Touchpad settings.
If necessary, select your Touchpad device.
In the General section, enable "Tap touchpad to click"
