XChangePointerControlSYNTAX
- int XChangePointerControl(Display *display, Bool do_accel, Bool do_threshold, int accel_numerator, int accel_denominator, int threshold);
- int XGetPointerControl(Display *display, int *accel_numerator_return, int *accel_denominator_return, int *threshold_return);
ARGUMENTS
- accel_denominator
- Specifies the denominator for the acceleration multiplier.
- accel_denominator_return
- Returns the denominator for the acceleration multiplier.
- accel_numerator
- Specifies the numerator for the acceleration multiplier.
- accel_numerator_return
- Returns the numerator for the acceleration multiplier.
- display
- Specifies the connection to the X server.
- do_accel
- Specifies a Boolean value that controls whether the values for the accel_numerator or accel_denominator are used.
- do_threshold
- Specifies a Boolean value that controls whether the value for the threshold is used.
- threshold
- Specifies the acceleration threshold.
- threshold_return
- Returns the acceleration threshold.
DESCRIPTION
The XChangePointerControl function defines how the pointing device moves. The acceleration, expressed as a fraction, is a multiplier for movement. For example, specifying 3/1 means the pointer moves three times as fast as normal. The fraction may be rounded arbitrarily by the X server. Acceleration only takes effect if the pointer moves more than threshold pixels at once and only applies to the amount beyond the value in the threshold argument. Setting a value to -1 restores the default. The values of the do_accel and do_threshold arguments must be True for the pointer values to be set, or the parameters are unchanged. Negative values (other than -1) generate a BadValue error, as does a zero value for the accel_denominator argument.XChangePointerControl can generate a BadValue error.
The XGetPointerControl function returns the pointer's current acceleration multiplier and acceleration threshold.
DIAGNOSTICS
- BadValue
- Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the 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.
