XChangePointerControl(3X11XLIB FUNCTIOXChangePointerControl(3X11)

NAME
       XChangePointerControl, XGetPointerControl - control
       pointer

SYNTAX
       XChangePointerControl(display, do_accel, do_threshold,
       accel_numerator,
			       accel_denominator, threshold)
	     Display *display;
	     Bool do_accel, do_threshold;
	     int accel_numerator, accel_denominator;
	     int threshold;

       XGetPointerControl(display, accel_numerator_return,
       accel_denominator_return,
			      threshold_return)
	     Display *display;
	     int *accel_numerator_return,
       *accel_denominator_return;
	     int *threshold_return;

ARGUMENTS
       accel_denominator
		 Specifies the denominator for the acceleration
		 multiplier.

       accel_denominator_return
		 Returns the denominator for the acceleration
		 multiplier.

       accel_numerator
		 Specifies the numerator for the acceleration
		 multiplier.

       accel_numerator_return
		 Returns the numerator for the acceleration mul-
		 tiplier.

       display	Specifies the connection to the X server.

       do_accel Specifies a Boolean value that controls whether
		 the values for the accel_numerator or
		 accel_denominator are used.

       do_threshold
		 Specifies a Boolean value that controls whether
		 the value for the threshold is used.

       threshold Specifies the acceleration threshold.

       threshold_return
		 Returns the acceleration threshold.

XChangePointerControl(3X11XLIB FUNCTIOXChangePointerControl(3X11)

DESCRIPTION
       The XChangePointerControl function defines how the point-
       ing device moves.  The acceleration, expressed as a frac-
       tion, is a multiplier for movement.  For example, specify-
       ing 3/1 means the pointer moves three times as fast as
       normal.	The fraction may be rounded arbitrarily by the X
       server.	Acceleration only takes effect if the pointer
       moves more than threshold pixels at once and only applies
       to the amount beyond the value in the threshold argument.
       Setting a value to -1 restores the default.  The values of
       the do_accel and do_threshold arguments must be True for
       the pointer values to be set, or the parameters are
       unchanged.  Negative values (other than -1) generate a
       BadValue error, as does a zero value for the accel_denomi-
       nator argument.

       XChangePointerControl can generate a BadValue error.

       The XGetPointerControl function returns the pointer's cur-
       rent acceleration multiplier and acceleration threshold.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadValue Some numeric value falls outside the range of
		 values accepted by the request.  Unless a spe-
		 cific range is specified for an argument, the
		 full range defined by the argument's type is
		 accepted.  Any argument defined as a set of
		 alternatives can generate this error.
