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. 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
