Input Extension Overview + + This document defines an extension to the X11 protocol to + support input devices other than the core X keyboard and + pointer. An accompanying document defines a corresponding + extension to Xlib (similar extensions for languages other than + C are anticipated). This first section gives an overview of the + input extension. The next section defines the new protocol + requests defined by the extension. We conclude with a + description of the new input events generated by the additional + input devices. + + This document only describes the behaviour of servers supporting + up to the X Input Extension 1.5. For servers supporting the X + Input Extensions 2.0, see XI2proto.txt. New clients are discouraged + from using this protocol specification. Instead, the use of XI 2.x + is recommended. + +1.1 Design Approach + + The design approach of the extension is to define requests and + events analogous to the core requests and events. This allows + extension input devices to be individually distinguishable from + each other and from the core input devices. These requests and + events make use of a device identifier and support the + reporting of n-dimensional motion data as well as other data + that is not reportable via the core input events. + +1.2 Core Input Devices + + The X server core protocol supports two input devices: a + pointer and a keyboard. The pointer device has two major + functions. First, it may be used to generate motion information + that client programs can detect. Second, it may also be used to + indicate the current location and focus of the X keyboard. To + accomplish this, the server echoes a cursor at the current + position of the X pointer. Unless the X keyboard has been + explicitly focused, this cursor also shows the current location + and focus of the X keyboard. The X keyboard is used to generate + input that client programs can detect. + + In servers supporting XI 1.4 and above, the core pointer and + the core keyboard are virtual devices that do not represent a + physical device connected to the host computer. + In servers supporting XI 2.0 and above, there may be multiple + core pointers and keyboards. Refer to XI2proto.txt for more + information. + + The X keyboard and X pointer are referred to in this document + as the core devices, and the input events they generate + (KeyPress, KeyRelease, ButtonPress, ButtonRelease, and + MotionNotify) are known as the core input events. All other + input devices are referred to as extension input devices and + the input events they generate are referred to as extension + input events. + + In servers supporting only XI 1.x, this input extension does + not change the behavior or functionality of the core input + devices, core events, or core protocol requests, with the + exception of the core grab requests. These requests may affect + the synchronization of events from extension devices. See the + explanation in the section titled "Event Synchronization and + Core Grabs". + + Selection of the physical devices to be initially used by the + server as the core devices is left implementation-dependent. + Requests are defined that allow client programs to change which + physical devices are used as the core devices. + +1.3 Extension Input Devices + + The input extension v1.x controls access to input devices other + than the X keyboard and X pointer. It allows client programs to + select input from these devices independently from each other + and independently from the core devices. + + A client that wishes to access a specific device must first + determine whether that device is connected to the X server. + This is done through the ListInputDevices request, which will + return a list of all devices that can be opened by the X + server. A client can then open one or more of these devices + using the OpenDevice request, specify what events they are + interested in receiving, and receive and process input events + from extension devices in the same way as events from the X + keyboard and X pointer. Input events from these devices are of + extension types ( DeviceKeyPress, DeviceKeyRelease, + DeviceButtonPress, DeviceButtonRelease, DeviceMotionNotify, + etc.) and contain a device identifier so that events of the + same type coming from different input devices can be + distinguished. + + Any kind of input device may be used as an extension input + device. Extension input devices may have 0 or more keys, 0 or + more buttons, and may report 0 or more axes of motion. Motion + may be reported as relative movements from a previous position + or as an absolute position. All valuators reporting motion + information for a given extension input device must report the + same kind of motion information (absolute or relative). + + This extension is designed to accommodate new types of input + devices that may be added in the future. The protocol requests + that refer to specific characteristics of input devices + organize that information by input classes. Server implementors + may add new classes of input devices without changing the + protocol requests. Input classes are unique numbers registered + with the X Consortium. Each extension input device may support + multiple input classes. + + In XI 1.x, all extension input devices are treated like the + core X keyboard in determining their location and focus. The + server does not track the location of these devices on an + individual basis, and therefore does not echo a cursor to + indicate their current location. Instead, their location is + determined by the location of the core X pointer. Like the core + X keyboard, some may be explicitly focused. If they are not + explicitly focused, their focus is determined by the location + of the core X pointer. + + Most input events reported by the server to a client are of + fixed size (32 bytes). In order to represent the change in + state of an input device the extension may need to generate a + sequence of input events. A client side library (such as Xlib) + will typically take these raw input events and format them into + a form more convenient to the client. + +1.4 Event Classes + + In the core protocol a client registers interest in receiving + certain input events directed to a window by modifying that + window's event-mask. Most of the bits in the event mask are + already used to specify interest in core X events. The input + extension specifies a different mechanism by which a client can + express interest in events generated by this extension. + + When a client opens a extension input device via the OpenDevice + request, an XDevice structure is returned. Macros are provided + that extract 32-bit numbers called event classes from that + structure, that a client can use to register interest in + extension events via the SelectExtensionEvent request. The + event class combines the desired event type and device id, and + may be thought of as the equivalent of core event masks. + +1.5 Input Classes + + Some of the input extension requests divide input devices into + classes based on their functionality. This is intended to allow + new classes of input devices to be defined at a later time + without changing the semantics of these requests. The following + input device classes are currently defined: + + KEY + The device reports key events. + + BUTTON + The device reports button events. + + VALUATOR + The device reports valuator data in motion events. + + PROXIMITY + The device reports proximity events. + + FOCUS + The device can be focused and reports focus events. + + FEEDBACK + The device supports feedbacks. + + OTHER + The ChangeDeviceNotify, DeviceMappingNotify, and + DeviceStateNotify macros may be invoked passing the + XDevice structure returned for this device. + + Each extension input device may support multiple input classes. + Additional classes may be added in the future. Requests that + support multiple input classes, such as the ListInputDevices + function that lists all available input devices, organize the + data they return by input class. Client programs that use these + requests should not access data unless it matches a class + defined at the time those clients were compiled. In this way, + new classes can be added without forcing existing clients that + use these requests to be recompiled. + +2. Requests + + Extension input devices are accessed by client programs through + the use of new protocol requests. This section summarizes the + new requests defined by this extension. The syntax and type + definitions used below follow the notation used for the X11 + core protocol. + +2.1 Getting the Extension Version + + The GetExtensionVersion request returns version information + about the input extension. + + GetExtensionVersion + name: STRING + => + present: BOOL + protocol-major-version: CARD16 + protocol-minor-version: CARD16 + + The protocol version numbers returned indicate the version of + the input extension supported by the target X server. The + version numbers can be compared to constants defined in the + header file XI.h. Each version is a superset of the previous + versions. + + The name must be the name of the Input Extension as defined + in the header file XI.h. + +2.2 Listing Available Devices + + A client that wishes to access a specific device must first + determine whether that device is connected to the X server. + This is done through the ListInputDevices request, which will + return a list of all devices that can be opened by the X + server. + + ListInputDevices + => + input-devices: ListOfDeviceInfo + + where + + DEVICEINFO: + [type: ATOM + id: CARD8 + num_classes: CARD8 + use: {IsXKeyboard, IsXPointer, IsXExtensionPointer, + IsXExtensionKeyboard, IsExtensionDevice} + info: LISTofINPUTINFO + name: STRING8] + + INPUTINFO: {KEYINFO, BUTTONINFO, VALUATORINFO} + KEYINFO: + [class: CARD8 + length: CARD8 + min-keycode: KEYCODE + max-keycode: KEYCODE + num-keys: CARD16] + BUTTONINFO: + [class: CARD8 + length: CARD8 + num-buttons: CARD16] + VALUATORINFO: + [class: CARD8 + length: CARD8 + num_axes: CARD8 + mode: SETofDEVICEMODE + motion_buffer_size: CARD32 + axes: LISTofAXISINFO] + + AXISINFO: + [resolution: CARD32 + min-val: CARD32 + max-val: CARD32] + DEVICEMODE: {Absolute, Relative} + + Errors: None + + This request returns a list of all devices that can be opened + by the X server, including the core X keyboard and X pointer. + Some implementations may open all input devices as part of X + initialization, while others may not open an input device until + requested to do so by a client program. + + The information returned for each device is as follows: + + type + The type field is of type Atom and indicates the nature + of the device. Clients may determine device types by + invoking the XInternAtom request passing one of the + names defined in the header file XI.h. The following + names have been defined to date: + + MOUSE + TABLET + KEYBOARD + TOUCHSCREEN + TOUCHPAD + BUTTONBOX + BARCODE + KNOB_BOX + TRACKBALL + QUADRATURE + SPACEBALL + DATAGLOVE + EYETRACKER + CURSORKEYS + FOOTMOUSE + ID_MODULE + ONE_KNOB + NINE_KNOB + JOYSTICK + + + id + The id is a small cardinal value in the range 0-128 that + uniquely identifies the device. It is assigned to the + device when it is initialized by the server. Some + implementations may not open an input device until + requested by a client program, and may close the device + when the last client accessing it requests that it be + closed. If a device is opened by a client program via + XOpenDevice, then closed via XCloseDevice, then opened + again, it is not guaranteed to have the same id after + the second open request. + + num_classes + The num_classes field is a small cardinal value in the + range 0-255 that specifies the number of input classes + supported by the device for which information is + returned by ListInputDevices. Some input classes, such + as class Focus and class Proximity do not have any + information to be returned by ListInputDevices. + + use + The use field specifies how the device is currently + being used. If the value is IsXKeyboard, the device is + currently being used as the X keyboard. If the value is + IsXPointer, the device is currently being used as the X + pointer. If the value is IsXExtensionPointer, the device + is available for use as an extension pointer. If the value + is IsXExtensionKeyboard, the device is available for use as + and extension keyboard. + Older versions of XI report all extension devices as + IsXExtensionDevice. + + name + The name field contains a pointer to a null-terminated + string that corresponds to one of the defined device + types. + + InputInfo + InputInfo is one of: KeyInfo, ButtonInfo or + ValuatorInfo. The first two fields are common to all + three: + + class + The class field is a cardinal value in the range + 0-255. It uniquely identifies the class of input + for which information is returned. + + length + The length field is a cardinal value in the range + 0-255. It specifies the number of bytes of data + that are contained in this input class. The length + includes the class and length fields. + + The remaining information returned for input class + KEYCLASS is as follows: + + min_keycode + min_keycode is of type KEYCODE. It specifies the + minimum keycode that the device will report. The + minimum keycode will not be smaller than 8. + + max_keycode + max_keycode is of type KEYCODE. It specifies the + maximum keycode that the device will report. The + maximum keycode will not be larger than 255. + + num_keys + num_keys is a cardinal value that specifies the + number of keys that the device has. + + The remaining information returned for input class + BUTTONCLASS is as follows: + + num_buttons + num_buttons is a cardinal value that specifies the + number of buttons that the device has. + + The remaining information returned for input class + VALUATORCLASS is as follows: + + mode + mode is a constant that has one of the following + values: Absolute or Relative. Some devices allow + the mode to be changed dynamically via the + SetDeviceMode request. + + motion_buffer_size + motion_buffer_size is a cardinal number that + specifies the number of elements that can be + contained in the motion history buffer for the + device. + + axes + The axes field contains a pointer to an AXISINFO + struture. + + The information returned for each axis reported by the + device is: + + resolution + The resolution is a cardinal value in + counts/meter. + + min_val + The min_val field is a cardinal value in that + contains the minimum value the device reports for + this axis. For devices whose mode is Relative, the + min_val field will contain 0. + + max_val + The max_val field is a cardinal value in that + contains the maximum value the device reports for + this axis. For devices whose mode is Relative, the + max_val field will contain 0. + +2.3 Enabling Devices + + Client programs that wish to access an extension device must + request that the server open that device. This is done via the + OpenDevice request. + + OpenDevice + id: CARD8 + => + DEVICE: + [device_id: XID + num_classes: INT32 + classes: LISTofINPUTCLASSINFO] + INPUTCLASSINFO: + [input_class: CARD8 + event_type_base: CARD8] + + Errors: Device + + This request returns the event classes to be used by the client + to indicate which events the client program wishes to receive. + Each input class may report several event classes. For example, + input class Keys reports DeviceKeyPress and DeviceKeyRelease + event classes. Input classes are unique numbers registered with + the X Consortium. Input class Other exists to report event + classes that are not specific to any one input class, such as + DeviceMappingNotify, ChangeDeviceNotify, and DeviceStateNotify. + + The information returned for each device is as follows: + + device_id + The device_id is a number that uniquely identifies the + device. + + num_classes + The num_classes field contains the number of input + classes supported by this device. + + For each class of input supported by the device, the + InputClassInfo structure contains the following information: + + input_class + The input_class is a small cardinal number that + identifies the class of input. + + event_type_base + The event_type_base is a small cardinal number that + specifies the event type of one of the events reported + by this input class. This information is not directly + used by client programs. Instead, the Device is used by + macros that return extension event types and event + classes. This is described in the section of this + document entitled "Selecting Extension Device Events". + + The information in the InputClassInfo reflects the state of + this device at the time the request was processed. + + Before it exits, the client program should explicitly request + that the server close the device. This is done via the + CloseDevice request. + + A client may open the same extension device more than once. + Requests after the first successful one return an additional + XDevice structure with the same information as the first, but + otherwise have no effect. A single CloseDevice request will + terminate that client's access to the device. + + Closing a device releases any active or passive grabs the + requesting client has established. If the device is frozen only + by an active grab of the requesting client, the queued events + are released when the client terminates. + + If a client program terminates without closing a device, the + server will automatically close that device on behalf of the + client. This does not affect any other clients that may be + accessing that device. + + CloseDevice: + device: DEVICE + + Errors: Device + +2.4 Changing The Mode Of A Device + + Some devices are capable of reporting either relative or + absolute motion data. To change the mode of a device from + relative to absolute, use the SetDeviceMode request. The valid + values are Absolute or Relative. + + This request will fail and return DeviceBusy if another client + already has the device open with a different mode. It will fail + and return AlreadyGrabbed if another client has the device + grabbed. The request will fail with a BadMatch error if the + requested mode is not supported by the device. + + SetDeviceMode + device:DEVICE + mode: {Absolute, Relative} + => + status: {Success, DeviceBusy, AlreadyGrabbed} + + Errors: Device, Match, Mode + +2.5 Initializing Valuators on an Input Device + + Some devices that report absolute positional data can be + initialized to a starting value. Devices that are capable of + reporting relative motion or absolute positional data may + require that their valuators be initialized to a starting value + after the mode of the device is changed to Absolute. To + initialize the valuators on such a device, use the + SetDeviceValuators request. + + SetDeviceValuators + device: DEVICE + first_valuator: CARD8 + num_valuators: CARD8 + valuators: LISTOFINT32 + => + status: {Success, AlreadyGrabbed} + + Errors: Length, Device, Match, Value + + This request initializes the specified valuators on the + specified extension input device. Valuators are numbered + beginning with zero. Only the valuators in the range specified + by first_valuator and num_valuators are set. If the number of + valuators supported by the device is less than the expression + first_valuator + num_valuators, a Value error will result. + + If the request succeeds, Success is returned. If the specifed + device is grabbed by some other client, the request will fail + and a status of AlreadyGrabbed will be returned. + +2.6 Getting Input Device Controls + + GetDeviceControl + device: DEVICE + control: XID + => + controlState: {DeviceState} + + where + + DeviceState: DeviceResolutionState + + Errors: Length, Device, Match, Value + + This request returns the current state of the specified device + control. The device control must be supported by the target + server and device or an error will result. + + If the request is successful, a pointer to a generic + DeviceState structure will be returned. The information + returned varies according to the specified control and is + mapped by a structure appropriate for that control. + + GetDeviceControl will fail with a BadValue error if the server + does not support the specified control. It will fail with a + BadMatch error if the device does not support the specified + control. + + Supported device controls and the information returned for them + include: + + DEVICE_RESOLUTION: + [control: CARD16 + length: CARD16 + num_valuators: CARD8 + resolutions: LISTofCARD32 + min_resolutions: LISTofCARD32 + max_resolutions: LISTofCARD32] + + This device control returns a list of valuators and the range + of valid resolutions allowed for each. Valuators are numbered + beginning with 0. Resolutions for all valuators on the device + are returned. For each valuator i on the device, resolutions[i] + returns the current setting of the resolution, + min_resolutions[i] returns the minimum valid setting, and + max_resolutions[i] returns the maximum valid setting. + + When this control is specified, XGetDeviceControl will fail + with a BadMatch error if the specified device has no valuators. + + ChangeDeviceControl: + device: DEVICE + XID: controlId + control: DeviceControl + + where + + DeviceControl: DeviceResolutionControl + => + status: {Success, DeviceBusy, AlreadyGrabbed} + + Errors: Length, Device, Match, Value + + ChangeDeviceControl changes the specifed device control + according to the values specified in the DeviceControl + structure. The device control must be supported by the target + server and device or an error will result. + + The information passed with this request varies according to + the specified control and is mapped by a structure appropriate + for that control. + + ChangeDeviceControl will fail with a BadValue error if the + server does not support the specified control. It will fail + with a BadMatch error if the server supports the specified + control, but the requested device does not. The request will + fail and return a status of DeviceBusy if another client + already has the device open with a device control state that + conflicts with the one specified in the request. It will fail + with a status of AlreadyGrabbed if some other client has + grabbed the specified device. If the request succeeds, Success + is returned. If it fails, the device control is left unchanged. + + Supported device controls and the information specified for + them include: + + DEVICE_RESOLUTION: + [control: CARD16 + length: CARD16 + first_valuator: CARD8 + num_valuators: CARD8 + resolutions: LISTofCARD32] + + This device control changes the resolution of the specified + valuators on the specified extension input device. Valuators + are numbered beginning with zero. Only the valuators in the + range specified by first_valuator and num_valuators are set. A + value of -1 in the resolutions list indicates that the + resolution for this valuator is not to be changed. + num_valuators specifies the number of valuators in the + resolutions list. + + When this control is specified, XChangeDeviceControl will fail + with a BadMatch error if the specified device has no valuators. + If a resolution is specified that is not within the range of + valid values (as returned by XGetDeviceControl) the request + will fail with a BadValue error. If the number of valuators + supported by the device is less than the expression + first_valuator + num_valuators, a BadValue error will result. + + If the request fails for any reason, none of the valuator + resolutions will be changed. + + ChangeDeviceControl causes the server to send a DevicePresence + event to interested clients. + +2.7 Selecting Extension Device Events + + Extension input events are selected using the + SelectExtensionEvent request. + + SelectExtensionEvent + interest: LISTofEVENTCLASS + window: WINDOW + + Errors: Window, Class, Access + + This request specifies to the server the events within the + specified window which are of interest to the client. As with + the core XSelectInput function, multiple clients can select + input on the same window. + + XSelectExtensionEvent requires a list of event classes. An + event class is a 32-bit number that combines an event type and + device id, and is used to indicate which event a client wishes + to receive and from which device it wishes to receive it. + Macros are provided to obtain event classes from the data + returned by the XOpenDevice request. The names of these macros + correspond to the desired events, i.e. the DeviceKeyPress is + used to obtain the event class for DeviceKeyPress events. The + syntax of the macro invocation is: + DeviceKeyPress (device, event_type, event_class); + device: DEVICE + event_type: INT + event_class: INT + + The value returned in event_type is the value that will be + contained in the event type field of the XDeviceKeyPressEvent + when it is received by the client. The value returned in + event_class is the value that should be passed in making an + XSelectExtensionEvent request to receive DeviceKeyPress events. + + For DeviceButtonPress events, the client may specify whether or + not an implicit passive grab should be done when the button is + pressed. If the client wants to guarantee that it will receive + a DeviceButtonRelease event for each DeviceButtonPress event it + receives, it should specify the DeviceButtonPressGrab event + class as well as the DeviceButtonPress event class. This + restricts the client in that only one client at a time may + request DeviceButtonPress events from the same device and + window if any client specifies this class. + + If any client has specified the DeviceButtonPressGrab class, + any requests by any other client that specify the same device + and window and specify DeviceButtonPress or + DeviceButtonPressGrab will cause an Access error to be + generated. + + If only the DeviceButtonPress class is specified, no implicit + passive grab will be done when a button is pressed on the + device. Multiple clients may use this class to specify the same + device and window combination. + + A client may also specify the DeviceOwnerGrabButton class. If + it has specified both the DeviceButtonPressGrab and the + DeviceOwnerGrabButton classes, implicit passive grabs will + activate with owner_events set to True. If only the + DeviceButtonPressGrab class is specified, implicit passive + grabs will activate with owner_events set to False. + + The client may select DeviceMotion events only when a button is + down. It does this by specifying the event classes + Button1Motion through Button5Motion, or ButtonMotion. An input + device will only support as many button motion classes as it + has buttons. + +2.8 Determining Selected Events + + To determine which extension events are currently selected from + a given window, use GetSelectedExtensionEvents. + + GetSelectedExtensionEvents + window: WINDOW + => + this-client: LISTofEVENTCLASS + all-clients: LISTofEVENTCLASS + + Errors: Window + + This request returns two lists specifying the events selected + on the specified window. One list gives the extension events + selected by this client from the specified window. The other + list gives the extension events selected by all clients from + the specified window. This information is equivalent to that + returned by your-event-mask and all-event-masks in a + GetWindowAttributes request. + +2.9 Controlling Event Propagation + + Extension events propagate up the window hierarchy in the same + manner as core events. If a window is not interested in an + extension event, it usually propagates to the closest ancestor + that is interested, unless the dont_propagate list prohibits + it. Grabs of extension devices may alter the set of windows + that receive a particular extension event. + + Client programs may control extension event propagation through + the use of the following two requests. + + XChangeDeviceDontPropagateList adds an event to or deletes an + event from the do_not_propagate list of extension events for + the specified window. This list is maintained for the life of + the window, and is not altered if the client terminates. + + ChangeDeviceDontPropagateList + window: WINDOW + eventclass: LISTofEVENTCLASS + mode: {AddToList, DeleteFromList} + + Errors: Window, Class, Mode + + This function modifies the list specifying the events that are + not propagated to the ancestors of the specified window.

If the start time is in the future, or is + later than the stop time, no positions are returned. + + The data field of the DEVICETIMECOORD structure is a sequence + of data items. Each item is of type INT32, and there is one + data item per axis of motion reported by the device. The number + of axes reported by the device is returned in the axis_count + variable. + + The value of the data items depends on the mode of the device, + which is returned in the mode variable. If the mode is + Absolute, the data items are the raw values generated by the + device. These may be scaled by the client program using the + maximum values that the device can generate for each axis of + motion that it reports. The maximum and minimum values for each + axis are reported by the ListInputDevices request. + + If the mode is Relative, the data items are the relative values + generated by the device. The client program must choose an + initial position for the device and maintain a current position + by accumulating these relative values. + +2.12 Changing The Core Devices + + These requests are provided to change which physical device is + used as the X pointer or X keyboard. These requests are + deprecated in servers supporting XI 1.4 and above, and will + always return a a BadDevice error. + + Using these requests may change the characteristics of the core + devices. The new pointer device may have a different number of + buttons than the old one did, or the new keyboard device may + have a different number of keys or report a different range of + keycodes. Client programs may be running that depend on those + characteristics. For example, a client program could allocate + an array based on the number of buttons on the pointer device, + and then use the button numbers received in button events as + indicies into that array. Changing the core devices could cause + such client programs to behave improperly or abnormally + terminate. + + These requests change the X keyboard or X pointer device and + generate an ChangeDeviceNotify event and a MappingNotify event. + The ChangeDeviceNotify event is sent only to those clients that + have expressed an interest in receiving that event via the + XSelectExtensionEvent request. The specified device becomes the + new X keyboard or X pointer device. The location of the core + device does not change as a result of this request. + + These requests fail and return AlreadyGrabbed if either the + specified device or the core device it would replace are + grabbed by some other client. They fail and return GrabFrozen + if either device is frozen by the active grab of another + client. + + These requests fail with a BadDevice error if the specified + device is invalid, or has not previously been opened via + OpenDevice. To change the X keyboard device, use the + ChangeKeyboardDevice request. The specified device must support + input class Keys (as reported in the ListInputDevices request) + or the request will fail with a BadMatch error. Once the device + has successfully replaced one of the core devices, it is + treated as a core device until it is in turn replaced by + another ChangeDevice request, or until the server terminates. + The termination of the client that changed the device will not + cause it to change back. Attempts to use the CloseDevice + request to close the new core device will fail with a BadDevice + error. + + The focus state of the new keyboard is the same as the focus + state of the old X keyboard. If the new keyboard was not + initialized with a FocusRec, one is added by the + ChangeKeyboardDevice request. The X keyboard is assumed to have + a KbdFeedbackClassRec. If the device was initialized without a + KbdFeedbackClassRec, one will be added by this request.

The specified device must support input class + Valuators (as reported in the ListInputDevices request) or the + request will fail with a BadMatch error. The valuators to be + used as the x- and y-axes of the pointer device must be + specified. Data from other valuators on the device will be + ignored. + + The X pointer device does not contain a FocusRec. If the new + pointer was initialized with a FocusRec, it is freed by the + ChangePointerDevice request. The X pointer is assumed to have a + ButtonClassRec and a PtrFeedbackClassRec. If the device was + initialized without a ButtonClassRec or a PtrFeedbackClassRec, + one will be added by this request. The ButtonClassRec added + will have no buttons, and the PtrFeedbackClassRec will specify + a null routine as the control procedure. + + If the specified device reports absolute positional + information, and the server implementation does not allow such + a device to be used as the X pointer, the request will fail + with a BadDevice error. + + Once the device has successfully replaced one of the core + devices, it is treated as a core device until it is in turn + replaced by another ChangeDevice request, or until the server + terminates.

This is necessary in order to allow window managers + to freeze all input devices with a single request. + + The core grab requests require a pointer_mode and keyboard_mode + argument. The meaning of these modes is changed by the input + extension. For the XGrabPointer and XGrabButton requests, + pointer_mode controls synchronization of the pointer device, + and keyboard_mode controls the synchronization of all other + input devices. For the XGrabKeyboard and XGrabKey requests, + pointer_mode controls the synchronization of all input devices + except the X keyboard, while keyboard_mode controls the + synchronization of the keyboard. When using one of the core + grab requests, the synchronization of extension devices is + controlled by the mode specified for the device not being + grabbed. + +2.13 Extension Active Grabs + + Active grabs of extension devices are supported via the + GrabDevice request in the same way that core devices are + grabbed using the core GrabKeyboard request, except that a + Device is passed as a function parameter. A list of events that + the client wishes to receive is also passed. The UngrabDevice + request allows a previous active grab for an extension device + to be released. + + To grab an extension device, use the GrabDevice request.

Further input events from this device are reported only + to the grabbing client. This request overrides any previous + active grab by this client for this device. + + The event-list parameter is a pointer to a list of event + classes. These are used to indicate which events the client + wishes to receive while the device is grabbed. Only event + classes obtained from the grabbed device are valid. + + If owner-events is False, input events generated from this + device are reported with respect to grab-window, and are only + reported if selected by being included in the event-list. If + owner-events is True, then if a generated event would normally + be reported to this client, it is reported normally, otherwise + the event is reported with respect to the grab-window, and is + only reported if selected by being included in the event-list. + For either value of owner-events, unreported events are + discarded. + + If this-device-mode is Asynchronous, device event processing + continues normally. If the device is currently frozen by this + client, then processing of device events is resumed. If + this-device-mode is Synchronous, the state of the grabbed + device (as seen by means of the protocol) appears to freeze, + and no further device events are generated by the server until + the grabbing client issues a releasing AllowDeviceEvents + request or until the device grab is released. Actual device + input events are not lost while the device is frozen; they are + simply queued for later processing. + + If other-device-mode is Asynchronous, event processing is + unaffected by activation of the grab. If other-device-mode is + Synchronous, the state of all input devices except the grabbed + one (as seen by means of the protocol) appears to freeze, and + no further events are generated by the server until the + grabbing client issues a releasing AllowDeviceEvents request or + until the device grab is released. Actual events are not lost + while the devices are frozen; they are simply queued for later + processing. + + This request generates DeviceFocusIn and DeviceFocusOut events. + + This request fails and returns: + + AlreadyGrabbed + If the device is actively grabbed by some other client. + + NotViewable + If grab-window is not viewable. + + InvalidTime + If the specified time is earlier than the last-grab-time + for the specified device or later than the current X + server time.

The request has no + effect if the specified time is earlier than the last-grab time + of the most recent active grab for the client, or if the + specified time is later than the current X server time. + + The following describes the processing that occurs depending on + what constant you pass to the event-mode argument: + + * If the specified device is frozen by the client, event + processing for that device continues as usual. If the + device is frozen multiple times by the client on behalf + of multiple separate grabs, AsyncThisDevice thaws for + all. AsyncThisDevice has no effect if the specified + device is not frozen by the client, but the device need + not be grabbed by the client. + + * If the specified device is frozen and actively grabbed + by the client, event processing for that device + continues normally until the next button or key event is + reported to the client. At this time, the specified + device again appears to freeze. However, if the reported + event causes the grab to be released, the specified + device does not freeze. SyncThisDevice has no effect if + the specified device is not frozen by the client or is + not grabbed by the client. + + * If the specified device is actively grabbed by the + client and is frozen as the result of an event having + been sent to the client (either from the activation of a + GrabDeviceButton or from a previous AllowDeviceEvents + with mode SyncThisDevice, but not from a Grab), the grab + is released and that event is completely reprocessed. + This time, however, the request ignores any passive + grabs at or above (towards the root) the grab-window of + the grab just released. The request has no effect if the + specified device is not grabbed by the client or if it + is not frozen as the result of an event. + + * If the remaining devices are frozen by the client, event + processing for them continues as usual. If the other + devices are frozen multiple times by the client on + behalf of multiple separate grabs, AsyncOtherDevices + “thaws” for all. AsyncOtherDevices has no effect if the + devices are not frozen by the client, but those devices + need not be grabbed by the client. + + * If all devices are frozen by the client, event + processing (for all devices) continues normally until + the next button or key event is reported to the client + for a grabbed device (button event for the grabbed + device, key or motion event for the device), at which + time the devices again appear to freeze. However, if the + reported event causes the grab to be released, then the + devices do not freeze (but if any device is still + grabbed, then a subsequent event for it will still cause + all devices to freeze). SyncAll has no effect unless all + devices are frozen by the client. If any device is + frozen twice by the client on behalf of two separate + grabs, SyncAll "thaws" for both (but a subsequent freeze + for SyncAll will only freeze each device once). + + * If all devices are frozen by the client, event + processing (for all devices) continues normally. If any + device is frozen multiple times by the client on behalf + of multiple separate grabs, AsyncAll "thaws" for all. + AsyncAll has no effect unless all devices are frozen by + the client. + + AsyncThisDevice, SyncThisDevice, and ReplayThisDevice + have no effect on the processing of events from the + remaining devices. AsyncOtherDevices has no effect on + the processing of events from the specified device. When + the event_mode is SyncAll or AsyncAll, the device + parameter is ignored. + + It is possible for several grabs of different devices + (by the same or different clients) to be active + simultaneously. If a device is frozen on behalf of any + grab, no event processing is performed for the device. + It is possible for a single device to be frozen because + of several grabs. In this case, the freeze must be + released on behalf of each grab before events can again + be processed. + +2.17 Controlling Device Focus + + The current focus window for an extension input device can be + determined using the GetDeviceFocus request. Extension devices + are focused using the SetDeviceFocus request in the same way + that the keyboard is focused using the SetInputFocus request, + except that a device is specified as part of the request. One + additional focus state, FollowKeyboard, is provided for + extension devices. + + To get the current focus state, revert state, and focus time of + an extension device, use GetDeviceFocus. + + GetDeviceFocus + device: DEVICE + => + focus: WINDOW, PointerRoot, FollowKeyboard, or None + revert-to: Parent, PointerRoot, FollowKeyboard, or None + focus-time: TIMESTAMP + + Errors: Device, Match + + This request returns the current focus state, revert-to state, + and last-focus-time of an extension device. + + To set the focus of an extension device, use SetDeviceFocus. + + SetDeviceFocus + device: DEVICE + focus: WINDOW, PointerRoot, FollowKeyboard, or None + revert-to: Parent, PointerRoot, FollowKeyboard, or None + focus-time: TIMESTAMP + + Errors: Device, Window, Value, Match + + This request changes the focus for an extension input device + and the last-focus-change-time.

Otherwise, the + last-focus-change-time is set to the specified time, with + CurrentTime replaced by the current server time. + + The action taken by the server when this request is requested + depends on the value of the focus argument: + + * If the focus argument is None, all input events from + this device will be discarded until a new focus window + is set. In this case, the revert-to argument is ignored. + + * If a window ID is assigned to the focus argument, it + becomes the focus window of the device. If an input + event from the device would normally be reported to this + window or to one of its inferiors, the event is reported + normally. Otherwise, the event is reported relative to + the focus window. + + * If you assign PointerRoot to the focus argument, the + focus window is dynamically taken to be the root window + of whatever screen the pointer is on at each input + event. In this case, the revert-to argument is ignored. + + * If you assign FollowKeyboard to the focus argument, the + focus window is dynamically taken to be the same as the + focus of the X keyboard at each input event. + + The specified focus window must be viewable at the time + of the request (else a Match error). If the focus window + later becomes not viewable, the X server evaluates the + revert-to argument to determine the new focus window. + + * If you assign RevertToParent to the revert-to argument, + the focus reverts to the parent (or the closest viewable + ancestor), and the new revert-to value is taken to be + RevertToNone. + + * If you assign RevertToPointerRoot, + RevertToFollowKeyboard, or RevertToNone to the revert-to + argument, the focus reverts to that value. + + When the focus reverts, the X server generates DeviceFocusIn + and DeviceFocusOut events, but the last-focus-change time is + not affected. + + This request causes the X server to generate DeviceFocusIn and + DeviceFocusOut events. + +2.18 Controlling Device Feedback + + To get the settings of feedbacks on an extension device, use + GetFeedbackControl.

These extension input events are generated by + manipulating one of the extension input devices. + +3.1 Button, Key, and Motion Events + + DeviceKeyPress + DeviceKeyRelease + DeviceButtonPress, + DeviceButtonRelease + DeviceMotionNotify + device: CARD8 + root, event: WINDOW + child: Window or None + same-screen: BOOL + root-x, root-y, event-x, event-y: INT16 + detail: <see below> + state: SETofKEYBUTMASK + time: TIMESTAMP + + These events are generated when a key, button, or valuator + logically changes state. The generation of these logical + changes may lag the physical changes, if device event + processing is frozen. Note that DeviceKeyPress and + DeviceKeyRelease are generated for all keys, even those mapped + to modifier bits. The “source” of the event is the window the + pointer is in. The window with respect to which the event is + normally reported is found by looking up the hierarchy + (starting with the source window) for the first window on which + any client has selected interest in the event. The actual + window used for reporting can be modified by active grabs and + by the focus window.The window the event is reported with + respect to is called the “event” window. + + The root is the root window of the “source” window, and root-x + and root-y are the pointer coordinates relative to root's + origin at the time of the event. Event is the “event” window. + If the event window is on the same screen as root, then event-x + and event-y are the pointer coordinates relative to the event + window's origin. Otherwise, event-x and event-y are zero. If + the source window is an inferior of the event window, then + child is set to the child of the event window that is an + ancestor of (or is) the source window. Otherwise, it is set to + None. + + The state component gives the logical state of the buttons on + the X pointer and modifier keys on the core X keyboard just + before the event. + + The detail component type varies with the event type: + Event Component + DeviceKeyPress KEYCODE + DeviceKeyRelease KEYCODE + DeviceButtonPress BUTTON + DeviceButtonRelease BUTTON + DeviceMotionNotify { Normal , Hint } + + The granularity of motion events is not guaranteed, but a + client selecting for motion events is guaranteed to get at + least one event when a valuator changes. If DeviceMotionHint is + selected, the server is free to send only one + DeviceMotionNotify event (with detail Hint) to the client for + the event window, until either a key or button changes state, + the pointer leaves the event window, or the client issues a + QueryDeviceState or GetDeviceMotionEvents request. + +3.2 DeviceValuator Event + + DeviceValuator + device: CARD8 + device_state: SETofKEYBUTMASK + num_valuators: CARD8 + first_valuator: CARD8 + valuators: LISTofINT32 + + DeviceValuator events are generated to contain valuator + information for which there is insufficient space in DeviceKey, + DeviceButton, DeviceMotion, and Proximity wire events. For + events of these types, a second event of type DeviceValuator + follows immediately. The library combines these events into a + single event that a client can receive via XNextEvent. + DeviceValuator events are not selected for by clients, they + only exist to contain information that will not fit into some + event selected by clients. + + The device_state component gives the state of the buttons and + modifiers on the device generating the event. + + Extension motion devices may report motion data for a variable + number of axes. The valuators array contains the values of all + axes reported by the device. If more than 6 axes are reported, + more than one DeviceValuator event will be sent by the server, + and more than one DeviceKey, DeviceButton, DeviceMotion, or + Proximity event will be reported by the library. Clients should + examine the corresponding fields of the event reported by the + library to determine the total number of axes reported, and the + first axis reported in the current event. Axes are numbered + beginning with zero. + + For Button, Key and Motion events on a device reporting + absolute motion data the current value of the device's + valuators is reported. For devices that report relative data, + Button and Key events may be followed by a DeviceValuator event + that contains 0s in the num_valuators field. In this case, only + the device_state component will have meaning. + +3.3 Device Focus Events + + DeviceFocusIn + DeviceFocusOut + device: CARD8 + time: TIMESTAMP + event: WINDOW + mode: { Normal, WhileGrabbed, Grab, Ungrab} + detail: { Ancestor, Virtual, Inferior, Nonlinear, + NonlinearVirtual, Pointer, PointerRoot, None} + + These events are generated when the input focus changes and are + reported to clients selecting DeviceFocusChange for the + specified device and window. Events generated by SetDeviceFocus + when the device is not grabbed have mode Normal. Events + generated by SetDeviceFocus when the device is grabbed have + mode WhileGrabbed. Events generated when a device grab actives + have mode Grab, and events generated when a device grab + deactivates have mode Ungrab. + + All DeviceFocusOut events caused by a window unmap are + generated after any UnmapNotify event, but the ordering of + DeviceFocusOut with respect to generated EnterNotify, + LeaveNotify, VisibilityNotify and Expose events is not + constrained. + + DeviceFocusIn and DeviceFocusOut events are generated for focus + changes of extension devices in the same manner as focus events + for the core devices are generated. + +3.4 Device State Notify Event + + DeviceStateNotify + time: TIMESTAMP + device: CARD8 + num_keys: CARD8 + num_buttons: CARD8 + num_valuators: CARD8 + classes_reported: CARD8 {SetOfDeviceMode | SetOfInputClass} + SetOfDeviceMode: + #x80 ProximityState 0 = InProxmity, 1 = OutOfProximity + #x40 Device Mode (0 = Relative, 1 = Absolute) + SetOfInputClass: #x04 reporting valuators + #x02 reporting buttons + #x01 reporting keys + buttons: LISTofCARD8 + keys: LISTofCARD8 + valuators: LISTofCARD32 + + This event reports the state of the device just as in the + QueryDeviceState request.

If the device has no more than 32 buttons, no + more than 32 keys, and no more than 3 valuators, This event can + report the state of the device. If the device has more than 32 + buttons, the event will be immediately followed by a + DeviceButtonStateNotify event. If the device has more than 32 + keys, the event will be followed by a DeviceKeyStateNotify + event.
