SYNOPSIS

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
  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 supporting the
	  XSetDeviceMode request.
