I've tried the 4.11 (rc8) mainline kernel, and the keyboard/touchpad work out of the box.
Would be great to have it backported, but in absence of that, it's now possible (although very awkard due to GUI issues, at least on XUbuntu) to install [X]Ubuntu on an SP3, then install the 4.11 mainline kernel, and have a usable machine (can't vouch for all the functionality, as I use a very specific subset). -- 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.
