Hi Danny,  Andrew, Kory, and Michael,

Thank you for your quick feedback.  I feel we need to stay naming identifier with stylus/eraser/cursor/touch/pad convention until XInput provides type to user space.  Although it is not the best solution, it doesn't introduce new challenge to our users who have to build the driver and its utility on their systems.  The goal of linuxwacom is to support all Linux distributions with no bias.  So, I will use Kory's patch to go back one step if you guys don't convince me otherwise.

Strange, I assumed this is a normal and common X library (which is used to
parse the xorg.conf). SUSE for example ship the lib with the
xorg-x11-server-sdk package.

Maybe we should check in configure for the lib and ifdef the related code, but
this would mean you have to name all Indentifier as
Stylus/Pad/Eraser/Cursor/Touch.
