I fixed the touchpad by adding the following lines to
/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" "07dc"
Option "IgnoreAbsoluteAxes" "True"
EndSection
This fix was discussed at
https://github.com/nuclearsandwich/surface3-archlinux/issues/4 and
http://askubuntu.com/questions/620726/ubuntu-on-surface-pro-3-or-linux-
at-all.
In my case, the type cover stopped working after upgrading to 15.10
because the upgrade overwrote /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf.
I'm not sure whether this matters, but there are two type cover USB IDs,
0x07de and 0x07e2, as discussed at
https://www.reddit.com/r/SurfaceLinux/comments/3dzriz/info_surface_pro_3_patch_status/.
Maybe this fix only works for one of the two IDs.
