NAME
       XSetDeviceMode - change the mode of a device

SYNTAX
       XSetDeviceMode(display, device, mode)
	     Display *display;
	     XDevice *device;
	     int _mode;

ARGUMENTS
       display	   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       device	   Specifies the device whose mode is to be changed.

       mode	   Specifies  the mode.	 You can pass Absolute , or Relative.

DESCRIPTION
       The XSetDeviceMode request changes the mode of an input device that is
       capable	of  reporting either absolute positional information or rela-
       tive motion information.	 Not all input devices are capable of report-
       ing  motion data, and not all are capable of changing modes from Abso-
       lute 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	 sup-
		   porting the XSetDeviceMode request.
