> Fedora has out-of-the-box support as well, since v24. 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. -- 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.
