The device must have been opened by the client via +\fIXOpenDevice\fP or a \fIBadDevice\fP error will result. The device must +support input class \fIValuators\fP or a \fIBadMatch\fP error will result. +If the implementation does not support use of the specified device as the +X pointer, a \fIBadDevice\fP error will result. +.LP +If the specified device is grabbed by another client, \fIAlreadyGrabbed\fP +is returned. If the specified device is frozen by a grab on another device, +\fIGrabFrozen\fP is returned. +If the request is successful, \fISuccess\fP is returned. +.LP +If the request succeeds, +a \fIChangeDeviceNotify\fP event is sent to all clients that have selected that +event. A \fIMappingNotify\fP event with request = \fIMappingPointer\fP is +sent to all clients. +The specified device becomes the X pointer, and +the old X pointer becomes accessible through the input extension +protocol requests. +.LP +\fIXChangePointerDevice\fP can generate a \fIBadDevice\fP or a \fIBadMatch\fP +error. +.SH DIAGNOSTICS +.TP 12 +\fIBadDevice\fP +An invalid device was specified. The specified device does not exist, has +not been opened by this client via \fIXOpenInputDevice\fP, or is already +one of the core X input devices (pointer or keyboard). This error may also +occur if the server implementation does not support using the specified +device as the X pointer. +.TP 12 +\fIBadMatch\fP +This error may occur if an \fIXChangePointerDevice\fP request was made +specifying a device that has less than two valuators, or specifying a +valuator index beyond the range supported by the device. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +XChangeKeyboardDevice +.br +\fI\*(xL\fP |
