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? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1550704 Title: Type Cover (3) touchpad not working on Surface Pro 3 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The Type Cover (3) touchpad is not working on the Surface Pro 3.
