Assuming the Manjaro Live-USB is running the same version of kernel/modules and firmware, then it is worth checking /proc/config.gz for the running kernel's configuration and comparing it with your gentoo configuration. Also while you're there you could check with lsmod what modules were loaded by the Manjaro kernel to see if you're missing something. Ah, I had gone through that! Looked at almost line by line the two dmesg, lsmod, configs etc. Of course Manjaro's config is big! Turns out there was something in ACPI page of kernel config that did the trick (not sure what exactly to be honest - might be Video). Thanks though!

[gentoo-user] Asus laptop & brightness keys
Hi! I got a new Asus Zenbook laptop, with a ryzen 4500U processor. Most things run great, except those brightness keys! Nothing is reported when pressing them, either with showkeys or acpi_listen, so I can't bind them to a shortcut. Brightness by changing the value in /sys/class/backlight/amdgpu_b10/brightness works fine. I have asus_wmi and asus_nb_wmi modules loaded, so things like multitouch pad and keyboard backlight work fine. I'm running a 5.10.27 gentoo sources kernel.
