.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4

.nf
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\&.

.SH "DIAGNOSTICS"
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
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\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
BadMatch
This error may occur if an XSetDeviceMode request is
made specifying a device that has no valuators and
reports no axes of motion\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4

.nf
BadMode
An invalid mode was specified\&. This error will also be
returned if the specified device is not capable of
supporting the XSetDeviceMode request\&.
