Surface pro type cover not working

I just installed arch on my surface pro and the touch screen works well, as does the stylus, but the type cover/touchpad doesn't type or function at all. On startup two error messages are shown:

hid-multitouch 0003:045E:07A9:0005: HID_DG_INPUTMODE out of range
hid-multitouch 0003:045E:07A9:0005: No inputs registered, leaving

lsusb shows this:
Bus 004 Device 005: ID 045e:0794 Microsoft Corp.
Bus 004 Device 004: ID 03eb:8209 Atmel Corp.
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 045e:07a9 Microsoft Corp.

I'm not really sure how to debug this, so any help to get me in the right direction would be great,
Thanks!

As far as I can tell, the answer is buried in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2183946
