Type Cover 3 not working even after kernel patch #4

Open nuclearsandwich opened 10 years ago

nuclearsandwich commented 10 years ago

The patch listed here after being applied to Archlinux kernel version 3.16.

The following comes from dmesg

Thank you very, works like a charm!

colorprint commented 9 years ago

Works fine with Option "ClickPad" "true" Thanks!

jonasnurjonas commented 9 years ago

Hi felipeota, I use a luks encrypted disc and need to provide a password for decryption right after the kernel has booted. Your multitouch patch disabled the type cover keyboard, so I can not type in a password any more. If I readd the removed "USB_DEVICE_ID_MS_TYPE_COVER_3" lines, the type cover keyboard starts working again, but multitouch does not work. Can you help? regards jonas

colorprint commented 9 years ago

it is strange, patch works fine for me, and keyboard works fine on the grub boot menu, for example... try to reconnect the keyboard...

jonasnurjonas commented 9 years ago

I'm using ubutnu with kernel 3.19 and the german type cover. Camera, acpi-wakeup & surface-button patched applied. All working. I tried unplugging the keyboard also, but no success.

lizalc commented 9 years ago

You need to add the 'hid_multitouch' module to your initramfs to get the keyboard working during boot. On Apr 3, 2015 6:37 AM, "jonasnurjonas" notifications@github.com wrote:

Hi shvr, thanks for the hint, that did the trick! multitouch trackpad and keyboard are now working.

osamabingates commented 9 years ago

Hi jonasnurjonas, it would be very nice if you could explain how u added hid_multitouch to initramfs....I have been waiting long to be able to use my surface 3 with ubuntu and a working touchpad is very vital for me :-)

osamabingates commented 9 years ago

I tried to add hid_multitouch to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules by:

sudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and then just put hid_multitouch to the bottom of the file and then i updated with

sudo update-initramfs -u and then rebooted but it did not work...

A sidenote, i have updated my 15.04 to the latest kernel 4 with rc7, so i guess i do not have archlinux but this is the closest i have gotten to an answer to the touchpad problem on surface pro 3...

jonasnurjonas commented 9 years ago

Hi osamabingates, have you patched your kernel? The update of your initramfs looks ok.

pRiVi commented 9 years ago

I have sometimes a delay, up to 2 minutes, if you remove the typecover and reattach before you can use it again.

I have already Linux 4.0.0.

Can anybody confirm this?

Vistaus commented 9 years ago

@felipeota: I did what you said but the touchpad still isn't working. Running Linux 4.0 (latest available from Arch repos). I want to get it working though 'cause then I can disable tap-to-click (which is annoying the hell out of me right now; the touchpad doesn't work but tap-to-click does).

Hello,

I noticed some strange behaviour on keyboard layout and don't know if such a thing is already known.

I recently installed Arch on my Surface Pro 3 and configured it for my Type Cover for german layout. So on tty(1-6) and in KDE and every Application in KDE it works properly. But in kdm I got (how many others) the problem that the layout is >> us << . Yesterday I fumbled a bit on my xorg.conf.d files and landed on a loginscreen with no function on my keyboard and even no function on my mouse. My bad but not the point. The point is: I unplugged my mouse and plugged in a USB-Keyboard (german layout). I didn't unplugged my Type Cover. Then I tried to type someting and it works (still not the point). Now the strange thing. I tried the >> ö << key on my USB-Keyboard and woops I got an ö in kdm logginscreen.... So I typed ö on type cover and heres the point.... a nother ö on loginscreen. WTF!?

So I fixed my files and restarted kdm.service. In kdm logginscreen I typed ö key on type cover and got semicolon >> ; << us-layout. Typed ö on (still plugged in) USB-Keyboard and got ö. Typed ö again on type cover and got ö.

Magic or a bug? Respectively is it related to type cover driver or kdm?

Ps.: Sorry for bad english.

[Edit] For everyone who might be interested. I solved the problem with adding setxkbmap de to /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup Now I have german layout on my type cover.

felipeota commented 9 years ago

@Vistaus did you patch the kernel and added the xorg conf? Can you give me dmesg.log and xorg.0.log right after boot?

Mbra771 commented 9 years ago

Hello, I'm just trying to bring my work to Surface. Unfortunately, neither suspend works, even multitouch. I use Ubuntu and had compiled a new kernel with the patches. Cameras, touchpad, WiFi works. Suspend would be very helpful for me.

Are there any packages with a final kernel for the Surface for Ubuntu with all patches? Sorry for bad english. Iam from Germany too :-)

Regards, Micha

nuclearsandwich commented 9 years ago

Hi Micha / @Mbra771

Sorry for the delay in response. I don't have any news about Ubuntu on the Surface Pro 3.

Recent Linux kernels (4.0+) have support for most things. I think the camera still requires patches, although I'm not certain, and suspend requires custom ACPI configurations for recognizing the buttons but I think it's at least possible now.

I would suggest trying the latest release of Ubuntu, if you were using an earlier one, and either checking the parent guide to this one https://github.com/rubiojr/surface3-ubuntu-trusty or the Ubuntu forums for more help.

Feel free to keep posting in the hardware specific issues here but remember that this repository is focused on Archlinux-based distros.

Hey guys,

I have a Surface 3 with Swedish/danish/Norwegian type cover 3 and trusty installed. No matter what i cant get that type cover working. The touch pad has been working since day one but i cant get the keyboard to work. I have vendor id 07e2 when checking with lsusb (removing and plugging in the type cover). I tired kernels already having the patch (3.19 and 4.0) and i tried patching and building myself a 3.16 myself (modified with my vendor id and "out of the box"). Nothing works. Any ideas on how to move forward here? Cheers! -R

lizalc commented 9 years ago

@ravedog, yeah, you need a patch. I have a working one written against the latest -rc kernel (4.1-rc8) that you can find here: https://github.com/shvr/fedora-surface-pro-3-kernel/blob/master/typecover3-multitouch.patch

The patch might need some editing to work on previous kernel versions if you don't want to use the -rc releases but unfortunately I don't have the time to backport it right now.

ravedog commented 9 years ago

@shvr: Awesome, ill try that right away. Cheers!

ravedog commented 9 years ago

@shvr Tried but failed.

lizalc commented 9 years ago

I don't really know much about Ubuntu's process for building a custom kernel, but it looks like a permission issue. Note:

ravedog commented 9 years ago

Saw the permission errors but It usually fine to compile under normal account , but this time it wasn't. When ran elevated it worked fine, however the deb pkgs had some issues making installation exit on 2.

Seems like the kernel went in alright although and the issues was just complaining about a directory that wasn't there. Cheers for the patch mate!
