All:
Have an older Surface Pro 3 with the latest version of Tumbleweed on it, updated just this morning, but the problem occurred after an update from about a week ago. Running
5.14.14-1-default kernel, nothing unusual, and no custom tweaks to anything. Up until that previous update, everything worked right out of the box…zero problems at all. AFTER
that update, however, the typecover keyboard and touchpad are no longer functional, and even manually loading the surface_hid module (“modprobe surface_hid”) doesn’t work.
No errors loading any of the surface-related modules, and plugging in an external keyboard/mouse works fine. Entire system works perfectly…except for the type-cover. Any
ideas on where to troubleshoot things from this point? Looked in dmesg for anything obvious, no errors that I can see, and even physically disconnecting/reconnecting the type
cover doesn’t put anything into dmesg. Like the device is not functional at all.
I even tried a new KNOWN working type cover, and it does the same thing, so I know it’s not hardware. I disabled TPM and secure-boot, thinking there was something going on
there, and no luck.
Any thoughts would be most appreciated.
