DESCRIPTION

41           These requests are provided to manipulate those input devices
42           that support feedbacks. A BadMatch error will be generated if
43           the requested device does not support feedbacks. Whether or not
44           a given device supports feedbacks can be determined by
45           examining the information returned by the XOpenDevice request.
46           For those devices that support feedbacks, XOpenDevice will
47           return an XInputClassInfo structure with the input_class field
48           equal to the constant FeedbackClass (defined in the file XI.h).
49
50           The XGetFeedbackControl request returns a pointer to a list of
51           XFeedbackState structures. Each item in this list describes one
52           of the feedbacks supported by the device. The items are
53           variable length, so each contains its length to allow traversal
54           to the next item in the list.
55
56           The feedback classes that are currently defined are:
57           KbdFeedbackClass, PtrFeedbackClass, StringFeedbackClass,
58           IntegerFeedbackClass, LedFeedbackClass, and BellFeedbackClass.
59           These constants are defined in the file XI.h. An input device
60           may support zero or more classes of feedback, and may support
61           multiple feedbacks of the same class. Each feedback contains a
62           class identifier and an id that is unique within that class for
63           that input device. The id is used to identify the feedback when
64           making an XChangeFeedbackControl request.
65
66           XGetFeedbackControl can generate a BadDevice or BadMatch error.
67
68           The XChangeFeedbackControl request modifies the values of one
69           feedback on the specified device. The feedback is identified by
70           the id field of the XFeedbackControl structure that is passed
71           with the request. The fields of the feedback that are to be
72           modified are identified by the bits of the mask that is passed
73           with the request.
74
75           XChangeFeedbackControl can generate a BadDevice, BadMatch, or
76           BadValue error.
77
78   Structures
79           Each class of feedback is described by a structure specific to
80           that class. These structures are defined in the file XInput.h.
81           XFeedbackState and XFeedbackControl are generic structures that
82           contain three fields that are at the beginning of each class of
83           feedback:
84
85           typedef struct {
86               XID class;
87               int length;

DIAGNOSTICS

240           BadDevice
241                  An invalid device was specified. The specified device
242                  does not exist or has not been opened by this client via
243                  XOpenInputDevice. This error may also occur if some
244                  other client has caused the specified device to become
245                  the X keyboard or X pointer device via the
246                  XChangeKeyboardDevice or XChangePointerDevice requests.
247
248           BadMatch
249                  This error may occur if an XGetFeedbackControl request
250                  was made specifying a device that has no feedbacks, or
251                  an XChangeFeedbackControl request was made with an
252                  XFeedbackControl structure that contains an invalid
253                  feedback type. It may also occur if an invalid
254                  combination of mask bits is specified ( DvKey but no
255                  DvAutoRepeatMode for keyboard feedbacks), or if an
256                  invalid KeySym is specified for a string feedback.
257
258           BadValue
259                  Some numeric value falls outside the range of values
260                  accepted by the XChangeFeedbackControl request. Unless a
261                  specific range is specified for an argument, the full
262                  range defined by the argument's type is accepted. Any
263                  argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate
264                  this error.
