Touchpad Not working properly in Garuda Linux

Hello, My touchpad seems to be not working in Garuda linux. My kernel is 5.10.8-112-tkg-bmq. The thing is I know its the kernel issue, but I am not getting right patch over it. And even if I get the patch I dont know how to apply it. I use a Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 (15ARH05). I've tried methods such as using the kernel 5.11-rc4 and the touchpad works but the thing is, if I use that kernel my GPU drivers are lost. Can anyone help me fix this problem and tell me the steps to go about since I am a beginner in this?
-Thank you.

Have you tried Arch default kernels (linux, linux-lts)?
No info, no ideas…

If your touchpad is supported in the next version of the Linux kernel, and your GPU drivers do not yet work with the next version of the kernel, then you will have to wait until that version of the kernel is released and drivers are updated with support for that kernel.
