To be able to prioritize we have to change current functions into smth like this:
get_cursor_type(cursor) { //new function can we determine type based on cursor.device? Yes -> return CSR_TYPE_PEN; can we determine type based on cursor.name? Yes -> return CSR_TYPE_ERASER; return CSR_TYPE_OTHER; }
and rewriting is_stylus and is_eraser into more simple functions like is_stylus(cursor) { return get_cursor_type(cursor) == CSR_TYPE_PEN; }

The alternative - just to switch order of checks in X11DRV_LoadTabletInfo. There is a code fragment: /* prefer finding TYPE_PEN(most capable) */ if (is_stylus(target->name, device_type)) cursor.TYPE = CSR_TYPE_PEN; else if (is_eraser(target->name, device_type)) cursor.TYPE = CSR_TYPE_ERASER; else cursor.TYPE = CSR_TYPE_OTHER;
I would need to switch order and check for ERASER first. Problems would arise if for some device name would be "Pen & Eraser", and type would be "STYLUS" , and then it would be detected as eraser. In the proposed patch this problem would not arise as only device is checked for ERASER. For my specific case both approaches work. Which one you consider as better?
Maybe a better way would be to restructure the checks, and give priority to the type over the name or something like that. The thing is that we don't want to have an is_stylus function that also checks for erasers, and then an is_eraser function with slightly different checks.
