I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.2 with 4.8.0-39-generic kernel.
The product ID 0x07e2 is recognized by the hid-microsoft driver (modinfo hid-microsoft lists this id), but I have no mouse pointer. I can click on the pad which is acting as a left-click and even right-click when pressing the bottom right corner of the touch pad.
I can get a mouse pointer, when adding /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf:
I was using the tigerite kernel https://launchpad.net/~tigerite/+archive/ubuntu/kernel before, but had to upgrade as veracrypt wasn't working. With this kernel everything worked as expected (without any manual additions to 10-evdev-conf). Looks like this is either a bug or another patch is missing.
Or is there a solution to get 2 finger scrolling on the microsoft type cover touch pad with a custom setting in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d?

But then I don't have 2 finger scrolling.
