XLIB FUNCTIONS                        XChangePointerControl(3x11)



NAME
     XChangePointerControl, XGetPointerControl - control pointer

SYNTAX
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lX11 [ library... ]

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

     int XGetPointerControl(Display *display, int
          *accel_numerator_return, int *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 mul-
               tiplier.

     accel_numerator
               Specifies the numerator for the acceleration mul-
               tiplier.

     accel_numerator_return
               Returns the numerator for the acceleration multi-
               plier.

     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.

DESCRIPTION
     The XChangePointerControl function defines how the pointing
     device moves.  The acceleration, expressed as a fraction, is
     a multiplier for movement. For example, specifying 3/1 means
     the pointer moves three times as fast as normal.  The frac-
     tion 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_denominator argument.

     XChangePointerControl can generate a BadValue error.

     The XGetPointerControl function returns the pointer's
     current acceleration multiplier and acceleration threshold.

DIAGNOSTICS
     BadValue  Some numeric value falls outside the range of
               values accepted by the request.  Unless a specific
               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 gen-
               erate this error.
