NAME
     XSetDeviceMode - change the mode of a device

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lXi [ library... ]

     #include 

     XSetDeviceMode( Display *display,
                     XDevice *device,
                     int mode);

     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 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.
