DESCRIPTION
The
XQueryDeviceState
request queries the state of an input device. The current state of
keys and buttons (up or down), and valuators (current value) on the device
is reported by this request. Each key or button is represented by a bit
in the XDeviceState structure that is returned. Valuators on the
device report 0 if they are reporting relative information, and the
current value if they are reporting absolute information.
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.
