Comment 4 for bug 284129

The patch proposed on the mailing list works for joysticks, but still incorrectly detects tablets as touchpads since the check for touchpads just tests for pressure, which is common to both tablets and touchpads. The actual check for tablets is inside a block whose condition is never true, and even if the execution ever got there, the tablet would be marked as a joystick as well... So my patch isn't so simple because the situation isn't so simple for all the device types involved and because some parts of the original code were incorrect.

I subscribed to the HAL mailing list in case further discussion is needed.
