I think the issue here is in interpreting the data given by the
keyboard. In your kernel log, there should be a line something like this
"hid-multitouch 0003:045E:07A9.xxxx....." with a hidraw number after it.
If you run "# cat /dev/hidraw#", you should see that the keyboard is
indeed spewing data, it just isn't being read correctly. The "Microsoft
SAM" device that X registers appears to be the windows key capacitive
button, not the keyboard at all. If you get a chance, check that out,
and let us know if there is info produced by the keyboard.

Title:
  Keyboard Touch Cover 2 not working on Surface Pro 2

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I boot the surface pro 2 device with a fresh installation of
  ubuntu (the gnome flavour) with current updates and attach the Touch
  Cover 2-keyboard, I expect the keyboard to work.

  What happens:
  The keyboard does not work. xev does not raise any events from the keyboard.

  Note:
  since I do not have an internet connection from the device in question, I cannot provide you with the requested ubuntu-bug output.

  Question:
  I attached anything I can think of which might be helpful to resolve the issue. Please point me in the right direction on how I can debug this further.
