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  posi-
       tional  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
       BadDevice   An  invalid	device was specified.  The speci-
		   fied 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 supporting the  XSetDevice-
		   Mode request.
