I appears that "axelrtgs/linux-kernel-ipts-4.10" doesn't provide a few
of the necessary firmwares.

Title:
Surface Pro 4 Touch/Pen
If anyone's interested in building this kernel without any technical
experience, I've added the "Surface Pro 4" build target using the
patches provided by axelrtgs to my easy Ubuntu kernel compilation
scripts.
Please visit for instructions:
** Description changed:
Hardware: Microsoft Surface Pro 4, 4gb/128gb nvme drive
Expected Behaviour: Pen/Touch function
Actual Behaviour: Pen/Touch do not work or respond to anything
Kernel/Ubuntu Versions: All
Cause: Hardware requires IPTS (Intel Precision Touch & Stylus) to
I've added to apport data to LP: #1670109
For the record, 4.10 is the first Ubuntu kernel to support the
'Microsoft Surface Type Cover' keyboard and touchpad, but the touchpad
support is very basic (no multitouch).
For the touchscreen and pen to work one would need the out of tree
patches
As of 4.10, keyboard support is in the mainline kernel, though
multitouch on the touchpad is not.
However, even though CONFIG_INTEL_IPTS may be there, last I checked IPTS
support wasn't actually merged into mainline. Any word on this?

I think a good start here would be to set CONFIG_INTEL_IPTS=m in the
kernel config.

Surface Pro 4 Touch/Pen requires IPTS
Joe, I don't think Ubuntu's ever worked withe SP4; people need to use
the special kernel from this PPA for the detachable keyboard to work:

Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a
prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
