[Bug 1550704] Re: Type Cover (3) touchpad not working on Surface Pro 3

[Mary Sherman]

I've tried the 4.11 (rc8) mainline kernel, and the keyboard/touchpad
work out of the box.

Would be great to have it backported, but in absence of that, it's now
possible (although very awkard due to GUI issues, at least on XUbuntu)
to install [X]Ubuntu on an SP3, then install the 4.11 mainline kernel,
and have a usable machine (can't vouch for all the functionality, as I
use a very specific subset).

It does not have Touchpad multi touch patch included. F25 was quite
unstable on my SP3, for whatever reason.

> How is that helpful??

Since the support on Ubuntu is not going anywhere. This is a year old
bug, and unofficial patched kernels have been around for ages. Since we
are here at stand still, but someone may actually want to use the
device, it is worth pointing out that there are alternatives.

Since Ubuntu/Canonical is so friendly with Microsoft, I wonder why there
is no interest in improving support for partners hardware.

I think it's fair to give information about the status of the support
for this machine. Right now Ubuntu SP3 users are forced to use an
obsolete, custom kernel, and a bug report can be a good reference, for
people, to have a clear idea of the situation.

There's very likely a typo though - I think he's referring to the SP3.

Thanks. I've also just noticed (and it's worth pointing out) that Fedora
has out-of-the-box support as well, since v24.

Looks like Ubuntu SP3 support will have to wait, in best case until
17.10 (worst case, later versions), since 17.04 still supports it
insufficiently.

Type Cover, touchpad with 2-finger scrolling. Everything works straight
off the live media.

[Bug 1550704] Re: Type Cover (3) touchpad not working on Surface Pro 3

[Corben]

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.2 with 4.8.0-39-generic kernel.
The product ID 0x07e2 is recognized by the hid-microsoft driver (modinfo 
hid-microsoft lists this id), but I have no mouse pointer. I can click on the 
pad which is acting as a left-click and even right-click when pressing the 
bottom right corner of the touch pad.

I can get a mouse pointer, when adding
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Surface Pro 3 cover"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "vendor" "045e"
Option "product" "07e2"
Option "IgnoreAbsoluteAxes" "True"
EndSection

But then I don't have 2 finger scrolling.

I was using the tigerite kernel
https://launchpad.net/~tigerite/+archive/ubuntu/kernel before, but had
to upgrade as veracrypt wasn't working. With this kernel everything
worked as expected (without any manual additions to 10-evdev-conf).
Looks like this is either a bug or another patch is missing.

Or is there a solution to get 2 finger scrolling on the microsoft type
cover touch pad with a custom setting in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d?

Still happening on Ubuntu 16.10 Final beta. Looks like the 16.10 kernel
works on some type 3 covers, but not others.
