Describe the bug

I've got an ASUS ROG Strix laptop with a discrete NVIDIA GPU. I ran Fedora Silverblue on it for half a year without issue. However, on Bluefin, my keyboard and trackpad aren't working correctly and I'm not sure why.

My keyboard has no backlight and the virtual numpad is overlaid on top of the trackpad in bright red. However, none of the numbers work when I tap them, and I can't get rid of it. On every other distribution, it never worked at all (which was fine by me).

I can't get this to go away, and it doesn't work anyway:

I don't know what's gone wrong here; I believe there's a specific ASUS image (not sure how to install it), but I've never had any problems with my ASUS laptop and the mainline Linux kernel until now. I downloaded the bluefin-nvidia image.

Only thing I could find that was relevant in journalctl -r -p 4:

Dec 15 01:30:36 bluefin (udev-worker)[72737]: mouse2: Process '/bin/input-remapper-control --command autoload --device /dev/input/mouse2' failed with exit code 5.
Dec 15 01:30:36 bluefin (udev-worker)[72762]: event24: Process '/bin/input-remapper-control --command autoload --device /dev/input/event24' failed with exit code 5.
Dec 15 01:30:36 bluefin (udev-worker)[72737]: input32: Process '/bin/input-remapper-control --command autoload --device ' failed with exit code 2.

What did you expect to happen?

I expected the virtual numpad to not work at all.

Extra information or context

I only want the virtual numpad gone; I don't want it to work as intended. I don't mind the lack of a keyboard backlight so long as I can get the numpad to go away.

Edit: I just tested the Fedora Kinoite installer USB, and my trackpad was working just fine and not displaying the virtual numpad. So it's definitely Universal Blue doing something downstream of Fedora that's resulting in this.
