Keyboard works in X11 but not Wayland

[mattikins]

I am stumped...Wayland does not recognize any keyboard inputs, but X11 does. I am running Debian 12 on a Lenovo Yoga 720-15lkb. When I launch a Wayland session, my keyboard input stop working once the session is booted. If I log out, I can log back in without issue, but once the session is loaded it is a no-go on my keyboard input. I have tried the laptop keyboard, wireless K540/545 Logitech keyboard, and a USB Logitech keyboard. Nothing registers. My dilemma is that Debian runs much smoother and faster in Wayland than in X11. I cannot index my files for searching in X11 because it bogs down the computer to the point where is not functional. I would like to run Wayland. I do not have a Nvida graphics card (which is the only other place I have seen this type of issue reported). I have an Intel processor. If anyone has a solution, I would be grateful. I have done a lot of searching for an answer, but I may be using the wrong search parameters.

Does the issue occur with Debian live USB?

What input packages do you have installed. I have:

Code: Select all

# inxi -S
System:
  Host: hp750 Kernel: 6.1.0-17-amd64 arch: x86_64 bits: 64 Console: pty pts/1
    Distro: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
# dpkg-query -W | grep input
libinput-bin    1.22.1-1
libinput10:amd64        1.22.1-1
xserver-xorg-input-evdev        1:2.10.6-2+b1
#

If this is all you have too, you might try adding xserver-xorg-input-libinput and/or xserver-xorg-input-kbd to see what happens.

I suppose it's conceivable that xserver-xorg-input-libinput, which is no longer needed due to libinput10, could be interfering somehow. Could also be that among the many deprecated packages the meta-package xserver-xorg-input-all installs are similar candidates.
