.fi
.sp

display
       Specifies the connection to the X server\&.

.sp
.nf
device
       Specifies the device whose control is to be interrogated
       or modified\&.
.fi
.sp
.nf
controlType
       Specifies the type of control to be interrogated or
       changed\&.
.fi
.sp
.nf
control
       Specifies the address of an XDeviceControl structure
       that contains the new values for the Device\&.
.fi
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
These requests are provided to manipulate those input devices
that support device control\&. A BadMatch error will be generated
if the requested device does not support any device controls\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
Valid device control types that can be used with these requests
include the following:
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
DEVICE_RESOLUTION: Queries or changes the resolution of
valuators on input devices\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
The XGetDeviceControl request returns a pointer to an
XDeviceControl structure\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
XGetDeviceControl can generate a BadDevice or BadMatch error\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
The XChangeDeviceControl request modifies the values of one
control on the specified device\&. The control is identified by
the id field of the XDeviceControl structure that is passed
with the request\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
XChangeDeviceControl can generate a BadDevice, BadMatch, or
BadValue error\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.SH "STRUCTURES"
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
Each control is described by a structure specific to that control\&.
These structures are defined in the file XInput\&.h\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
XDeviceControl is a generic structure that contains two fields
that are at the beginning of each class of control:
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE

.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
typedef struct {
    XID class;
    int length;
} XDeviceControl;
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
The XDeviceResolutionState structure defines the information
that is returned for device resolution for devices with
valuators\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
typedef struct {
    XID control;
    int length;

    int* max_resolutions;
} XDeviceResolutionState;
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4

.nf
The XDeviceResolutionControl structure defines the attributes
that can be controlled for keyboard Devices\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
typedef struct {

.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.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 XGetDeviceControl request was
       made specifying a device that has no controls or an
       XChangeDeviceControl request was made with an
       XDeviceControl structure that contains an invalid Device
       type\&. It may also occur if an invalid combination of
       mask bits is specified ( DvKey but no DvAutoRepeatMode
       for keyboard Devices), or if an invalid KeySym is
       specified for a string Device\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
BadValue
       Some numeric value falls outside the range of values
       accepted by the XChangeDeviceControl request\&. Unless a
       specific range is specified for an argument, the full
       range defined by the argument\*(Aqs type is accepted\&. Any
       argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate
       this error\&.

.if n \{\
.RE
