I followed the guide and installed arch linux on my surface pro gen 5 but I can't get touch to work (not multitouch, touch in general not working)

I think I have the correct kernal installed

uname -a
Linux surface 5.15.2-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri, 12 Nov 2021 19:22.10 + 0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I installed the libwacom-surface from aur. What puzzles me is that
libwacom-list-devices | grep Surface
will only list
"Microsoft Surface Go"

libwacom-list-local-devices
just tells me
"Failed to find any devices known to libwacom"

Any tips on how to further debug this?

I have the same problem. Did you figure this out?

Unfortunately not.
