[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1652815] Re: Surface Pro 4 Touch/Pen requires IPTS
Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem? Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.10 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.

I've added to apport data to LP: #1670109 For the record, 4.10 is the first Ubuntu kernel to support the 'Microsoft Surface Type Cover' keyboard and touchpad, but the touchpad support is very basic (no multitouch). For the touchscreen and pen to work one would need the out of tree patches mentioned in the original report. -- 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/1652815 Title: Surface Pro 4 Touch/Pen requires IPTS Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 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.

As of 4.10, keyboard support is in the mainline kernel, though multitouch on the touchpad is not. However, even though CONFIG_INTEL_IPTS may be there, last I checked IPTS support wasn't actually merged into mainline.
