Has anyone on Manjaro (Phosh, but that shouldn't matter) switched to the userspace driver (ppkb-i2c) for the keyboard case?  If so, can you post how you did it?

I was hoping maybe I could just use the instructions for Arch starting at step 3:

https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=16156

Unfortunately, I can't even get out the  gate because Manjaro Arm does  not seem to have a mkscr command (The boot.txt file says at the top to run "pp-uboot-mkscr" but that fails to with a "command not found" message. and there is no ".scr" file with a similar name on the boot directory).  There is a boot.scr file in the boot directory, and, yes, I am in that directory when issuing the commands.

Any help from someone using Manjaro Arm would be appreciated.

TIA

Does the file:
/boot/mkscr
exist?  It should be with the files '/boot/boot.txt' and '/boot/boot.scr'
And is it executable (-rwxr-xr-x) ?

to list the files and their permissions in the '/boot' directory:
cd /boot
ls -l


If it doesn't exist, manually create it:
sudo nano /boot/mkscr
