+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.TP 15
+.I display
+Specifies the connection to the X server.
+.TP 15
+.I device
+Specifies the device whose control is to be interrogated or modified.
+.TP 15
+.I controlType
+Specifies the type of control to be interrogated or changed.
+.TP 15
+.I control
+Specifies the address of an \fIXDeviceControl\fP structure that contains
+the new values for the Device.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These requests are provided to manipulate those input devices that
+support device control. A \fIBadMatch\fP error will be generated if the
+requested device does not support any device controls.
+.LP
+Valid device control types that can be used with these requests include the
+following:
+.TP 20
+DEVICE_RESOLUTION
+Queries or changes the resolution of valuators on input devices.
+.LP
+The \fIXGetDeviceControl\fP request returns a pointer to an
+\fIXDeviceControl\fP structure.
+.LP
+\fIXGetDeviceControl\fP can generate a \fIBadDevice\fP or
+\fIBadMatch\fP error.
+.LP
+The \fIXChangeDeviceControl\fP request modifies the values of one
+control on the specified device. The control is identified by the id
+field of the \fIXDeviceControl\fP structure that is passed with the
+request.
+.LP
+\fIXChangeDeviceControl\fP can generate a \fIBadDevice\fP,
+\fIBadMatch\fP, or \fIBadValue\fP error.
+.SH STRUCTURES
+Each control is described by a structure specific to that control.
+These structures are defined in the file \fIXInput.h\fP.
+.LP
+\fIXDeviceControl\fP is a generic
+structure that contains two fields that are at the beginning of each class
+of control:
+.LP
+.DS
+.nf
+typedef struct {
+.br
+ XID class;
+.br
+ int length;
+.br
+} XDeviceControl;
+.fi
+.DE
+.LP
+The \fIXDeviceResolutionState\fP structure defines the information that is
+returned for device resolution for devices with valuators.
+.LP
+.DS
+.nf
+typedef struct {
+ XID control;
+ int length;
+ int num_valuators;
+ int *resolutions;
+ int *min_resolutions;
+ int *max_resolutions;
+} XDeviceResolutionState;
+.fi
+.DE
+.LP
+The \fIXDeviceResolutionControl\fP structure defines the attributes that can be
+controlled for keyboard Devices.
+.LP
+.DS
+.nf
+typedef struct {
+ XID control;
+ int length;
+ int first_valuator;
+ int num_valuators;
+ int *resolutions;
+} XDeviceResolutionControl;
+.fi

+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+.TP 12
+\fIBadDevice\fP
+An invalid device was specified. The specified device does not exist or has
+not been opened by this client via \fIXOpenInputDevice\fP. 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 \fIXChangeKeyboardDevice\fP or
+\fIXChangePointerDevice\fP requests.
+.TP 12
+\fIBadMatch\fP
+This error may occur if an \fIXGetDeviceControl\fP request was made specifying
+a device that has no controls or an \fIXChangeDeviceControl\fP request was
+made with an \fIXDeviceControl\fP structure that contains an invalid Device
+type. It may also occur if an invalid combination of mask bits is specified
+(\fIDvKey\fP but no \fIDvAutoRepeatMode\fP for keyboard Devices), or if an
+invalid KeySym is specified for a string Device.
+.TP 12
+\fIBadValue\fP
+Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the
+\fIXChangeDeviceControl\fP 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 generate this error.
