XSetDeviceMode(3X11)													      XSetDeviceMode(3X11)

NAME

       XSetDeviceMode - change the mode of a device

SYNOPSIS

       XSetDeviceMode(display, device, mode)
	       Display *display;
	       XDevice *device;
	       int _mode;

ARGUMENTS

       Specifies the connection to the X server.  Specifies the device whose mode is to be changed.  Specifies the mode. You can pass Absolute, or
       Relative.

DESCRIPTION

       The XSetDeviceMode request changes the mode of an input device that is capable of reporting either absolute positional information or rela-
       tive  motion  information. Not all input devices are capable of reporting motion data, and not all are capable of changing modes from Abso-
       lute to Relative.

       XSetDeviceMode can generate a BadDevice or BadMode error.

DIAGNOSTICS

       An invalid device was specified.  The specified device does not exist or has not been opened by this  client  via  XOpenInputDevice.   This
       error  may also occur if some other client has caused the specified device to become the X keyboard or X pointer device via the XChangeKey-
       boardDevice or XChangePointerDevice requests.  This error may occur if an XSetDeviceMode request is made specifying a device  that  has	no
       valuators  and  reports no axes of motion.  An invalid mode was specified.  This error will also be returned if the specified device is not
       capable of supporting the XSetDeviceMode request.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadDevice   An  invalid	device was specified.  The specified device does not exist or has not been opened by this client via XOpenInputDe-
		   vice.  This error may also occur if some other client has caused the specified device to become the X  keyboard  or	X  pointer
		   device via the XChangeKeyboardDevice or XChangePointerDevice requests.

       BadMatch    This  error	may  occur  if	an XSetDeviceMode request is made specifying a device that has no valuators and reports no axes of
		   motion.

       BadMode	   An invalid mode was specified.  This error will also be returned if the specified device is not capable of supporting the XSet-
		   DeviceMode request.
