Absolute OS 12.1 RC1 (Default branch)
ImageAbsolute Linux is a lightweight Slackware derivative that uses an Icewm, pcmanfm, ROX-Filer, ivman, and others to create a lightweight yet easy to use distribution. Installation is text-based but simplified, and all packages are installed at once. It can run on a Pentium MMX with 64MB of RAM (PII 400 with 128MB recommended). It features ease of browsing any connected device in pcmanfm and an auto-popup menu for inserted playable media. "Restricted" codecs are available to those eligible via a root-user installer. Along with CD2 there is a large range of software compiled on and for Absolute, including OpenOffice, Mplayer, GIMP, and K3B.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
Enhanced pcmanfm replaces ROX as the default file manager. Rox is still available, and runs desktop and icons. Wicd runs wireless (if enabled in the services menu). Ivman deals with playable media. Kernel 2.6.24.4 is included. Ctrl_Alt+Esc can close X if needed (since icewm and the current Xorg don't play well together with Ctrl+Alt+backspace). Pdfedit has been added. Hplip is working for use with an HP printer to get ink levels, cleaning utilities, etc. Most packages (the toolchain, certainly) are up to date with Slackware current except where there were issues with running software.Image

		       XDevice *device,
		       int mode);

DESCRIPTION

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

	   XSetDeviceMode can generate a BadDevice or BadMode error.

DIAGNOSTICS

	   BadDevice
		  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
		  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 XSetDeviceMode request.
