DESCRIPTION

25           The XSetDeviceMode request changes the mode of an input device
26           that is capable of reporting either absolute positional
27           information or relative motion information. Not all input
28           devices are capable of reporting motion data, and not all are
29           capable of changing modes from Absolute to Relative.
30
31           XSetDeviceMode can generate a BadDevice or BadMode error.

DIAGNOSTICS

34           BadDevice
35                  An invalid device was specified. The specified device
36                  does not exist or has not been opened by this client via
37                  XOpenInputDevice. This error may also occur if some
38                  other client has caused the specified device to become
39                  the X keyboard or X pointer device via the
40                  XChangeKeyboardDevice or XChangePointerDevice requests.
41
42           BadMatch
43                  This error may occur if an XSetDeviceMode request is
44                  made specifying a device that has no valuators and
45                  reports no axes of motion.
46
47           BadMode
48                  An invalid mode was specified. This error will also be
49                  returned if the specified device is not capable of
50                  supporting the XSetDeviceMode request.
