XSetDeviceValuators(3X11)					    X FUNCTIONS 					 XSetDeviceValuators(3X11)

NAME
XSetDeviceValuators - initialize the valuators on an extension input device SYNTAX
XSetDeviceValuators(display, device, valuators, first_valuator, num_valuators) Display *display; XDevice *device; int *valuators; int first_valuator; int num_valuators; ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server. device Specifies the device whose valuators are to be initialized. valuators Specifies a pointer to an array of integer values to be used to initialize the device valuators. first_valuator Specifies the first valuator to be set. Valuators are numbered beginning with zero. num_valuators Specifies the number of valuators to be set. DESCRIPTION
The XSetDeviceValuators request sets the current values of the valuators of an input device. The valuators in the range first_valuator to (first_valuator + num_valuators) are set to the specified values. Valuators are numbered beginning with 0. Not all input devices support initialization of valuator values. If this request is made to a device that does not support valuators initialization, a BadMatch error will occur. If the request succeeds, a status of Success is returned. If another client has the device grabbed, a status of AlreadyGrabbed is returned. XSetDeviceValuators can generate a BadLength, BadDevice , BadMatch, or BadValue error. DIAGNOSTICS
BadDevice An invalid device was specified. The specified device does not exist or has not been opened by this client via XOpenInputDe- vice. BadMatch This error may occur if an XSetDeviceValuators request is made specifying a device that has no valuators and reports no axes of motion, or if such a request is made specifying a device that does not support valuator initialization. BadValue An invalid first_valuator or num_valuators values was specified. SEE ALSO

XChangePointerDevice(3X11)					    X FUNCTIONS 					XChangePointerDevice(3X11)

NAME
XChangePointerDevice - change which device is the X pointer SYNTAX
Status XChangePointerDevice(display, device xaxis, yaxis) Display *display; XDevice *device; int xaxis; int yaxis; ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server. device Specifies the device to be used as the X pointer. xaxis Specifies the axis of the device to be used as the X pointer x-axis. yaxis Specifies the axis of the device to be used as the X pointer y-axis. DESCRIPTION
The XChangePointerDevice request causes the server to use the specified device as the X pointer. The device must have been opened by the client via XOpenDevice or a BadDevice error will result. The device must support input class Valuators or a BadMatch error will result. If the implementation does not support use of the specified device as the X pointer, a BadDevice error will result. If the specified device is grabbed by another client, AlreadyGrabbed is returned. If the specified device is frozen by a grab on another device, GrabFrozen is returned. If the request is successful, Success is returned. If the request succeeds, a ChangeDeviceNotify event is sent to all clients that have selected that event. A MappingNotify event with request = MappingPointer is sent to all clients. The specified device becomes the X pointer, and the old X pointer becomes accessible through the input extension protocol requests. XChangePointerDevice can generate a BadDevice or a BadMatch error. DIAGNOSTICS
BadDevice An invalid device was specified. The specified device does not exist, has not been opened by this client via XOpenInputDevice, or is already one of the core X input devices (pointer or keyboard). This error may also occur if the server implementation does not support using the specified device as the X pointer. BadMatch This error may occur if an XChangePointerDevice request was made specifying a device that has less than two valuators, or spec- ifying a valuator index beyond the range supported by the device.
