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
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. This error may occur if an XSetDe‐
viceMode 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 sup‐
porting the XSetDeviceMode request.
