** 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 function. This is because touch processing is accelerated by the Intel Skylake GPU. IPTS driver can be found here: https://github.com/ipts-linux-org/ipts- linux-new/wiki Kernel compile under Debian with other Surface-specific patches can be found here: https://github.com/jimdigriz/debian-mssp4 On Reddit there are some custom kernels floating around with support patched in: https://www.reddit.com/r/SurfaceLinux/comments/4t64zt/getting_the_sp4_running_with_ubuntu_1604/ + + UPDATE: The IPTS driver needed some updates for 4.10, allegedly this is a working version: https://github.com/axelrtgs/linux-kernel-ipts-4.10 + Discussion here:https://github.com/ipts-linux-org/ipts-linux-new/issues/3 + The same person has a linux-firmware-ipts, which (again, allegedly) includes the firmware: https://github.com/axelrtgs/linux-firmware-ipts
