1. Introduction

The X Input Extension version 2.0 (XI2) is the second major release of the X
Input Extension.

XI2 provides a number of enhancements over version 1.5, including:
- use of XGE and GenericEvents. GenericEvents are of flexible length with a
  minimum length of 32 bytes.
- explicit device hierarchy of master and slave devices. See Section 4.
- use of multiple independent master devices (Multi-Poiner X or MPX).
- the ability for devices to change capabilities at runtime.
- raw device events

XI2's intent is to replace both core input processing and prior versions of
the X Input Extension. Historically, the majority of applications employed the
core protocol requests and events to handle user input. The core protocol does
not provide information about which device generated the event. The X Input
Extension version up to 1.5 requires the differentiation between core and
extended devices. Extended devices may not be core devices and thus cannot be
used on applications employing the core protocol. XI2 addresses both of these
issues by enabling devices to be both extended and core devices and providing
device information in each event (with the exception of core events).

3. Interoperability between version 1.x and 2.0

There is little interaction between 1.x and 2.x versions of the X Input
Extension. Clients are requested to avoid mixing XI1.x and XI2 code as much as
possible. Several direct incompatibilities are observable:

3.1 Limitations resulting from different variable ranges

XI2 provides a larger range for some fields than XI1. As a result, XI1 clients
may not receive data an XI2 client receives.
These fields include:
- devices with a deviceid of greater than 127 are invisible to XI1 clients.
- key events and key grabs featuring larger than 255 can only be sent to XI2
  clients.
- no subpixel information is avialable to XI1 clients. If motion events are in
  a subpixel range only, the server may omit these events and an XI 1.x client
  will not receive events until the pixel boundary is crossed.


3.2 Blocking of grabs

XI1 grabs are different to XI2 grab and a device may not be grabbed through an
XI2 grab if an XI1 grab is currently active on this device or vice versa.
Likewise, a keycode or button already grabbed by an XI 1.x or XI2 client may
not be grabbed with the same modifier combination by an XI2 or XI 1.x client,
respectively.

3.3 Invisibility of Master Devices

XI 1.x was not designed with support for multiple master devices (see Section
4). As a result, only the first master pointer and master keyboard are visible
to XI 1.x clients, all other master devices are invisible and cannot be
accessed from XI 1.x calls.

                              ❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧

4. The Master/Slave device hierarchy

XI2 introduces a device hierarchy split up into so-called Master Devices (MD)
and Slave Devices (SD).

4.1 Master devices
An MD is a virtual device created and managed by the server. MDs may send core
events and XI events. However, an MD does not represent a physical device and
relies on SDs for event generation. MDs come in two forms: as master pointers
or as master keyboards. A master pointer is represented by a visible cursor on
the screen. A master keyboard is represented by a keyboard focus.

Each master pointer is paired with the respective master keyboard and vice
versa, and this pairing is constant for the lifetime of both input devices.
Clients can use this pairing behaviour to implement input paradigms that
require pointer and keyboard interation (e.g. SHIFT + Click).

4.2 Slave devices
An SD is usually a physical device configured in the server. SDs are not
represented by a cursor or keyboard focus and may be attached to a master
pointer or master keyboard. SDs can only be attached to any master of the same
type (e.g. a physical pointer device can be attached to any master pointer).

If an event is generated by an SD
- if the SD is attached to a master pointer, it changes the position and/or
  button state of the master pointer.
- if the SD is attached to a master keyboard, it sends events to this
  keyboard's focus window (if applicable) and/or changes the modifier state of
  this keyboard.
- if the SD is not attached to an MD ("floating"), it does not change 
  any master device. The SD has its own (invisible) sprite and its own focus.
  Both the sprite and the focus must be managed explicitly by the client
  program.

4.3 Event processing for attached slave devices

Whenever an SD changes its logical state,
- the event is delivered as an XI event to any interested clients. If the
  device is floating, event processing stops.
  Otherwise, if the device is attached,
- the master device changes its classes to reflect the SD's capabilities. All
  interested clients are notified of this device change.
- then, the event is delivered as an XI event from the MD to any interested
  clients. If the event has been delivered, event processing stops.
  Otherwise,
- the event is delivered as a core event to any interested clients.

Given that W is the event window, and P the parent window of W, event delivery
to P is only attempted if neither the XI event, nor the core event has been
delivered on W. Once an event has been delivered as either XI or core event,
event processing stops.

4.4. The ClientPointer principle

Many core protocol and some extension requests are ambiguous when multiple
master devices are available (e.g. QueryPointer does not specfy which pointer).
The X server does not have the knowledge to chose the contextually correct
master device. For each client, one master pointer is designated as this
clients's "ClientPointer". Whenever a client sends an ambiguous request (e.g.
QueryPointer), the ClientPointer or the keyboard paired with the ClientPointer
is chosen to provide the data for this request.

This ClientPointer may be explicitly assigned to a client with the
SetClientPointer call. If no ClientPointer is set when a client issues an
ambiguous request, the server choses one device as the ClientPointer. The
method of chosing a ClientPointer from the available master pointers is
implementation-specific.

If the master pointer currently set as ClientPointer for one or more clients is
removed, the server may either unset the ClientPointer setting or change the
ClientPointer to a different master pointer.

5. Data types

BUTTONMASK
        A binary mask defined as (1 << button number).
        A SETofBUTTONMASK is a binary OR of zero or more BUTTONMASK.

DEVICE { DEVICEID, AllDevices, AllMasterDevices }
        A DEVICE specifies either a DEVICEID or AllDevices or
        AllMasterDevices.

DEVICEID { CARD16 }
        A DEVICEID is a numerical ID for a device currently available in the
        server. The server may re-use a device ID after a device's removal.
        The device IDs 0 and 1 are reserved.
        AllDevices ........ 0
        AllMasterDevices .. 1

DEVICEUSE { MasterPointer, MasterKeyboard, SlavePointer,
            SlaveKeyboard, FloatingSlave }
        A DEVICEUSE field specifies the current use of a device in the MD/SD
        device hierarchy. See Section 4 for more information.

EVENTMASK
        An EVENTMASK is a binary mask defined as (1 << event type).
        A SETofEVENTMASK is a binary OR of zero or more EVENTMASK.

FP1616
        Fixed point decimal in 16.16 format as one INT16 and one CARD16.
        The INT16 contains the integral part, the CARD32 the decimal fraction
        shifted by 16.

FP3232
        Fixed point decimal in 32.32 format as one INT32 and one CARD32.
        The INT32 contains the integral part, the CARD32 the decimal fraction
        shifted by 32.

VALUATORMASK
        A binary mask defined as (1 << valuator number).
        A SETofVALUATORMASK is a binary OR of zero or more VALUATORMASK.

                              ❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧
6. Errors

Errors are sent using core X error reports.

Device
        A value for a DEVICE argument does not specify a valid DEVICE.

                              ❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧
7. Requests:

The server does not guarantee that the length of a reply remains constant in
future revisions of XI2. A client must always retrieve the exact length of the
protocol reply from the connection, even if the reply is longer than defined
for the XI2 version supported by the client.
Additional bytes in a request may include data supported in later versions of
XI2. Clients should ignore this data. Padding bytes in XI2 protocol requests
are required to be 0.

7.1 Requests introduced in version 2.0

    ┌───
        XIQueryVersion

        major_version:          CARD16
        minor_version:          CARD16
    └───

    The client sends the highest supported version to the server and the
    server sends the highest version it supports, but no higher than the
    requested version. Major versions changes can introduce incompatibilities
    in existing functionality, minor version changes introduce only backward
    compatible changes.  It is the client's responsibility to ensure that the
    server supports a version which is compatible with its expectations.

    major_version
        Major XI2 version.
    minor_version
        Minor XI2 version.

    If major_version is less than 2, a BadValue error occurs.

        valid DEVICE, only this DEVICE is listed and num_devices is 1.
    num_devices
        The number of deviceinfos returned.

    Each deviceinfo is detailed as follows:
    deviceid
        The unique ID of the device. Device IDs may get re-used when a device
        is removed.
    use
        If the device is a master pointer, use is MasterPointer.
        If the device is a master keyboard, use is MasterKeyboard.
        If the device is a slave pointer, use is SlavePointer.
        If the device is a slave keyboard, use is SlaveKeyboard.
        If the device is a floating slave, use is FloatingSlave.
    attachment
        If the device is a master pointer or a master keyboard, attachment
        specifies the paired master keyboard, or the paired master pointer,
        respectively.  If the device is a non-floating slave device
        attachment specifies the master device this device is attached to.
        If the device is a floating slave, attachment is undefined.

    For all classes, type specifies the device class. Clients are required
    to ignore unknown device classes. The length field specifies the length
    of the class in 4 byte units.
    The following classes may occur only once: ButtonClass, KeyClass

    ButtonClass:
    type
        Always ButtonClass.

        specifies an unlabeled button. Buttons are listed in the device-native
        order regardless of the current button mapping.
    state
        The current button mask for this device after button mapping is
        applied. Each bit representing a button is 1 if this button is
        logically down, or 0 otherwise. State is a multiple of 4-byte units
        and always contains at least num_buttons bits.

    KeyClass:
    type
        Always KeyClass.
    length
        Length in 4 byte units.

    mask
        Event mask. An event mask for an event type T is defined as (1 << T).

    XISelectEvents selects for XI2 events on window.

    If num_masks is 0, a BadValue error occurs.

    Each mask sets the (and overwrites a previous) event mask for the DEVICE
    specified through deviceid. The device AllDevices or
    AllMasterDevices is treated as a separate device by server. A client's
    event mask is the union of AllDevices, AllMasterDevices and the
    per-device event mask.
    The removal of device from the server unsets the event masks for the
    device. If an event mask is set for AllDevices or AllMasterDevices, the
    event mask is not cleared on device removal and affects all future
    devices.

    If mask_len is 0, the event mask for the given device is cleared.

    The mask for XIHierarchyEvents may only be selected for XIAllDevices.
    Setting it for any other device results in a BadValue error.

    Change a master pointer's cursor on the specified window.

    window
        The window.
    cursor
        The new cursor or None.
    deviceid
        The master pointer device.

    Whenever device enters a window W, the cursor shape is selected in the
    following order:
    - if the current window has a device cursor C(d) defined for device,
      display this cursor C(d).
    - otherwise, if the current window has a cursor C(w) defined in the core
      protocol's window attributes, display cursor C(w).
    - repeat on parent window until a cursor has been found.

    The device cursor for a given window is reset once the window is destroyed
    or the device is removed, whichever comes earlier.

    If deviceid does not specify a master pointer, a BadDevice error
    is returned.

    └───

    Set the ClientPointer for the client owning win to the given device.

    win
         Window or client ID.
    deviceid
         The master pointer or master keyboard that acts as ClientPointer.

    Some protocol requests are ambiguous and the server has to choose a device
    to provide data for a request or a reply. By default, the server will
    choose a client's ClientPointer device to provide the data, unless the
    client currently has a grab on another device. See section 4.4 for more
    details.

    If win is None, the ClientPointer for this client is set to the given
    device. Otherwise, if win is a valid window, the ClientPointer for the
    client owning this window is set to the given device. Otherwise, if win is
    not a valid window but a client with the client mask equal to win exists,
    this client's ClientPointer is set to the given device.

    If deviceid does not specify a master pointer or master keyboard, a
    BadDevice error is returned.

    If window does not specify a valid window or client ID and is not None, a
    BadWindow error is returned.

    └───

    Set the focus for the given device to the given window. Future key events
    from this device are sent to this window.
    This request generates FocusIn and FocusOut events.

    focus
        A viewable window or None.
    deviceid
        The device to modify the focus window for.
    time
        Specifies the time to change the focus or CurrentTime.

    If focus is None, key events from this device are discarded until a new
    focus window is set. If focus is a viewable window, key events from this
    device are sent to this window. If the window becomes unviewable, the
    window's first viewable ancestor automatically becomes the focus window
    and FocusIn and FocusOut events are sent as if a client had changed the
    focus window.
    This is equivalent to RevertToParent in the core XSetInputFocus window.

    This request has no effect if the specified time is earlier than the

    This request actively grabs control of the specified input device. Further

    grab_window
        Events are reported relative to the grab window.
    owner_events
        Specifies whether event will be reported normally or relative to the

        Specifies if this device will be frozen as a result of the grab.
    paired_device_mode
        Specifies if the master device paired with this device will be frozen
        as a result of the grab.
    time
        A valid server time or CurrentTime.
    cursor
        The cursor to display for the duration of the grab or None.
    mask_len
        Length of mask in 4 byte units.
    mask
        Event mask. An event mask for an event type T is defined as (1 << T).
    status
        Success or the reason why the grab could not be established.

    The masks parameter specifies which events the client wishes to receive
    while the device is grabbed.

    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 grab-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 grab-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 XIAllowEvents 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 the device is a slave device, the paired-device-mode is ignored.
    Otherwise, if this device is a master device and paired-device-mode is
    Asynchronous, event processing is unaffected by activation of the grab. If
    this device is a master device and paired-device-mode is Synchronous, the
    state of the master device paired with this device (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 XIAllowEvents 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.

    If the cursor is not None and the device is a master pointer device, the
    cursor will be displayed until the device is ungrabbed.

    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.
                 Otherwise, the last-grab-time for the specified device is set
                 to the specified time and CurrentTime is replaced by the
                 current X server time.
    Frozen: If the device is frozen by an active grab of another client.

    The XIAllowEvents request releases some queued events if the client
    has caused a device to freeze.

    deviceid
        The device to grab.
    time
        A valid server time or CurrentTime.
    event_mode
        Specifies whether a device is to be thawed and events are to be
        replayed.

    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:
    AsyncDevice:
        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, AsyncDevice thaws for
        all.
        AsyncDevice has no effect if the specified device is not frozen by the
        client, but the device need not be grabbed by the client.
    SyncDevice:
        If the specified device is frozen and actively grabbed by the client,
        event processing for that device continues normally until the next
        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.
        SyncDevice has no effect if the specified device is not frozen by the
        client or is not grabbed by the client.
     ReplayDevice:
        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 XIGrabButton or from a previous XIAllowEvents with
        mode SyncDevice, 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.
     AsyncPairedDevice
        If the paired master device is frozen by the client, event processing
        for it continues as usual. If the paired device is frozen multiple
        times by the client on behalf of multiple separate grabs,
        AsyncPairedDevice thaws for all.
        AsyncPairedDevice has no effect if the device is not frozen by the
        client, but those devices need not be grabbed by the client.
        AsyncPairedDevice has no effect if deviceid specifies a slave device.
     SyncPairedDevice
        If the paired master device is frozen by the client, event processing (for
        the paired master device) continues normally until the next button or key
        event is reported to the client for the grabbed device (button event for
        the grabbed device, key or motion event for the device), at which time
        the device again appears to freeze. However, if the reported event causes
        the grab to be released, then the device does not freeze.
        SyncPairedDevice has no effect if the specified device is not grabbed
        by the client or if it is no frozen as the result of an event.
        SyncPairedDevice has no effect if deviceid specifies a slave device.
     SyncPair
        If both the device and the paired master device are frozen by the
        client, event processing (for both devices) continues normally until
        the next XIButtonPress, XIButtonRelease, XIKeyPress, or XIKeyRelease
        event is reported to the client for a grabbed device (button event for
        a pointer, key event for a keyboard), 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 the other device is
        still grabbed, then a subsequent event for it will still cause both
        devices to freeze).
        SyncPair has no effect unless both the device and the paired master
        device are frozen by the client. If the device or paired master device
        is frozen twice by the client on behalf of two separate grabs,
        SyncPair thaws for both (but a subsequent freeze for SyncPair will
        only freeze each device once).
        SyncPair has no effect if deviceid specifies a slave device.
     AsyncPair
        If the device and the paired master device are frozen by the client,
        event processing for both devices continues normally. If a device is
        frozen twice by the client on behalf of two separate grabs, AsyncBoth
        thaws for both. AsyncPair has no effect unless both the device and the
        paired master device frozen by the client.
        AsyncPair has no effect if deviceid specifies a slave device.

        activating a grab on a slave device detaches the device from its

        from the slave device only and may be different to the modifier state
        when the grab was triggered.

        In the future, if grab_type is GrabtypeButton or GrabtypeKeyboard, the
        device is actively grabbed if:
        - the device is not grabbed, and
        - the specified modifier keys are down, and
        - the grab_type is GrabtypeButton and the button specified in detail
          is logically pressed or the grab_type is GrabtypeKeycode and the
          keycode specified in detail is logically pressed, and
        - the grab_window contains the pointer, and
        - a passive grab on the same button/keycode + modifier
          combination does not exist on an ancestor of grab_window.

        Otherwise, if grab_type is GrabtypeEnter or GrabtypeFocusIn, the
        device is actively grabbed if:
        - the device is not actively grabbed, and
        - the specified modifier keys are down, and
        - the grab_type is GrabtypeEnter and the device's pointer has moved
          into grab_window or a descendant of grab_window, or the grab_type is
          GrabtypeFocusIn and the device's focus has been set to the
          grab_window or a descendant of grab_window,
        - a passive grab of the same grab_type + modifier combination does not
          does not exist on an ancestor of grab_window.

        A modifier of GrabAnyModifier is equivalent to issuing the request for
        all possible modifier combinations (including no modifiers). A client
        may request a grab for GrabAnyModifier and explicit modifier
        combinations in the same request.

        A GrabtypeButton or GrabtypeKeyboard grab is released when all buttons
        or keycode are released, independent of the state of modifier keys.
        A GrabtypeEnter or GrabtypeFocusIn grab is released when the
        pointer or focus leaves the window and all of its descendants,
        independent of the state of modifier keys.
        Note that the logical state of a device (as seen by means of the
        protocol) may lag the physical state if device event processing is
        frozen.

        This request overrides all previous passive grabs by the same
        client on the same button/key/enter/focus in + modifier combinations
        on the same window.

        If some other client already has issued a XIPassiveGrabDevice request
        with the same button or keycode and modifier combination, the
        failed modifier combinations is returned in modifiers_return. If some
        other client already has issued an XIPassiveGrabDevice request of
        grab_type  XIGrabtypeEnter or XIGrabtypeFocusIn with the same
        grab_window and the same modifier combination, the failed modifier
        combinations are returned in modifiers_return. If num_modifiers_return
        is zero, all passive grabs have been successful.

        If a button grab or enter grab activates, EnterNotify and LeaveNotify
        events with mode Grab are generated as if the pointer were to suddenly
        warp from its current position some position in the grab_window.
        However, the pointer does not warp, and the pointer position is used
        as both the initial and final positions for the events.

        If a keycode grab or focus grab activates, FocusIn and FocusOut events
        with mode Grab are generated as if the focus were to change from the
        current window to the grab_window.

        If an enter or focus in grab activates, additional EnterNotify events
        with mode XIPassiveGrabNotify are generated as if the pointer or focus
        were to suddenly warp from its current position to some position in
        the grab window.  These events are sent to the grabbing client only
        and only if the grab event mask has selected for it. If such a passive
        grab deactivates, addional LeaveNotify events with mode
        XIPassiveUngrabNotify are generated and sent to the grabbing client
        before the grab deactivates.

        data
            Property data (nitems * format/8 bytes)

        The type is uninterpreted by the server. The format specifies whether
        the data should be viewed as a list of 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit
        quantities so that the server can correctly byte-swap as necessary.

        If the mode is Replace, the previous propert y value is discarded.  If
        the mode is Prepend or Append, then the type and format must match the
        existing property value (or a Match error results). If the property is
        undefined, it is treated as defined with the correct type and format
        with zero-length data. For Prepend, the data is tacked on to the
        beginning of the existing data, and for Append, it is tacked on to the
        end of the existing data.

        The lifetime of a property is not tied to the storing client. Properties
        remain until explicitly deleted, until the device is removed, or
        until server reset.

        A property cannot be deleted by setting nitems to zero. To delete a
        property, use XIDeleteProperty.

        If the specified property does not exist for the specified device, then
        the return type is None, the format and bytes-after are zero, and the value is
        empty. The delete argument is ignored in this case. If the specified property
        exists but its type does not match the specified type, then the return
        type is the actual type of the property, the format is the actual format of the
        property (never zero), the bytes-after is the length of the property in bytes
        (even if the format is 16 or 32), and the value is empty. The delete
        argument is ignored in this case. If the specified property exists and
        either AnyPropertyType is specified or the specified type matches the actual
        type of the property, then the return type is the actual type of the property,
        the format is the actual format of the property
        (never zero), and the bytes-after and value are as follows, given:
                 N = actual length of the stored property in bytes
                    (even if the format is 16 or 32)
                 I = 4 * long-offset
                 T = N−I
                 L = MINIMUM(T, 4 * long-length)
                 A = N − (I + L)
        The returned value starts at byte index I in the property (indexing
        from 0), and its length in bytes is L. However, it is a Value error if
        offset is given such that L is negative. The value of bytes_after is A,
        giving the number of trailing unread bytes in the stored property. If
        delete is True and the bytes_after is zero, the property is also
        deleted from the device, and a XIPropertyNotify event is generated on
        the device.  
     

8. Events:

An event specifies its length in 4-byte units after the initial 32 bytes.
Future versions of the protocol may provide additional information
in the same event, thus increasing the event size. Clients are required to
always read the number of bytes specified by the event, not the size of the
event they may have been compiled against.


The following event types are available in XI2.

    info:
        The current hierarchy information.

    An XIHierarchyEvent is sent whenever the device hierarchy been
    changed. The flags specify all types of hierarchy modifiations that have
    occured.
    For all devices, info details the hierarchy information after the
    modification of the hierarchy has occured. For each device specified with
    deviceid:
    - if type is MasterPointer or MasterKeyboard, attachment decribes the
      pairing of this device.
    - if type is SlavePointer or SlaveKeyboard, attachment describes the
      master device this device is attached to.
    - if type is FloatingSlave device, attachment is undefined.

    enabled
         True if the device is enabled and can send events. A disabled master
         device will not forward events from an attached, enabled slave
         device.

    Note: Multiple devices may be affected in one hierarchy change,
    deviceid in an XIHierarchyEvent is always the first affected
    device. Clients should ignore deviceid and instead use the devices list.

    A RawEvent provides the information provided by the driver to the
    client. RawEvent provides both the raw data as supplied by the driver and
    transformed data as used in the server. Transformations include, but are
    not limited to, axis clipping and acceleration.
    Transformed valuator data may be equivalent to raw data. In this case,
    both raw and transformed valuator data is provided.
    RawEvents are sent exclusively to all root windows or to the client
    that grabbed the device only.

    eventtype
        The type of event that occured on the device.
    detail
        The button number or keycode.
    flags
        Flags as described in DeviceEvent.
    valuators_len
        The length of valuators in 4 byte units.
    valuators
        Bitmask of valuators provided in axisvalues and axisvalues_raw.
    axisvalues
        Valuator data in device-native resolution.
    axisvalues_raw
        Untransformed valuator data in device-native resolution.

    Enter or Leave events are sent whenever a device's pointer enters or
    leaves a window.
    FocusIn or FocusOut events are sent whenever a device's focus is set to or
    away from a window.
    The enter/leave and focus in/out model is described in the core protocol
    specification, Section 11. (EnterNotify, LeaveNotify events).

    For enter and leave events, the modifier and group state is the state of
    the paired master device if the device is a master device, or the state of
    the attached master keyboard if the device is an attached slave device, or
    zero if the device is a floating slave device.

    For focus in and out events, the button state is the state of the paired
    master device if the device is a master device, or the state of the
    attached master keyboard if the device is an attached slave device, or
    zero if the device is a floating slave device.

    root
    event
    child
        The root window, event window, and child window, respectively. See the
        core protocol specification for more detail.
    sourceid
        The device that caused the pointer to move.
    root_x
    root_y
        The pointer coordinates relative to the root window.
    event_x
    event_y
        The pointer coordinates relative to the event window.
    mode
        Normal pointer motion events have mode Normal. Pseudo-motion events
        when a grab activates have mode Grab, and pseudo-motion events when a
        grab deactivates have mode Ungrab. Pseudo-motion events caused by the
        activation or deactivation of a passive enter or focus in grab have mode
        XIPassiveGrabNotify or XIPassiveUngrabNotify.
    detail
        Specifies the relation of the event window to the window the pointer
        entered or left. See the core protocol spec for details.
    same_screen
        True if the event window is on the same screen as the pointer's root
        window.
    focus
        If the event window is the focus window or an inferior of the focus
        window, then focus is True. Otherwise, focus is False. This field is
        unspecified for focus in/out events.
    mods
        XKB modifier state before the event occured.
    group
        XKB group state before the event.
    buttons_len
        The length of buttons in 4 byte units.
    buttons
        Button state before the event.
