Surface Go 4 Touchscreen not funtional, ipu6 driver load error

[FosteringCrow]

I am on a Surface Go 4 with Linux 6.19.8-surface-3, Gnome 46, wayland, Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS, Firmware version 23.103.143.

My touchscreen does not function enough to be useful. I can click docked icon buttons, some desktop icons, I move windows, but i cannot use the OSK, touch the top right menu with the battery/volume/wifi icons.

I spent a very long time with duck.ai (Claude Haiku) and Lumo (proton's AI) trying to fix it, but came up with no fix.

The touchscreen is ELAN, which is different than other Surface Go units (I'm pretty sure).

I did install windows 11 and updated the device before installing Ubuntu. I have Surface Go 2 which did work great, with the exception of cameras (which is fine for me)

I also got these error when attempting to install a driver, and i will also include the log file mentioned. I'm happy to help out however i can. This is a non-critical issue for me since I use FDE, so i need a KB anyway.
