.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4

.nf
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\&.

BadDevice
       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\&.
