.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
The XSetDeviceButtonMapping request sets the mapping of the
specified device\&. If it succeeds, the X server generates a
DeviceMappingNotify event, and XSetDeviceButtonMapping returns
MappingSuccess\&. Element map[i] defines the logical button
number for the physical button i+1\&. The length of the list must
be the same as XGetDeviceButtonMapping would return, or a
BadValue error results\&. A zero element disables a button, and
elements are not restricted in value by the number of physical
buttons\&. However, no two elements can have the same nonzero
value, or a BadValue error results\&. If any of the buttons to be
altered are logically in the down state,
XSetDeviceButtonMapping returns MappingBusy, and the mapping is
not changed\&.
.fi
.if n \{\

.sp
.if n \{\

.nf
XSetDeviceButtonMapping can generate BadDevice, BadMatch, and
BadValue errors\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
The XGetDeviceButtonMapping request returns the current mapping
of the specified device\&. Buttons are numbered starting from
one\&.XGetDeviceButtonMapping returns the number of physical
buttons actually on the device\&. The nominal mapping for a
device is map[i]=i+1\&. The nmap argument specifies the length of
the array where the device mapping is returned, and only the
first nmap elements are returned in map_return\&.

XGetDeviceButtonMapping can generate BadDevice or BadMatch

.SH "DIAGNOSTICS"
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
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 the
       specified device is the X keyboard or X pointer device\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
BadMatch
       This error may occur if an XGetDeviceButtonMapping or
       XSetDeviceButtonMapping request was made specifying a
       device that has no buttons\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
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\*(Aqs type is accepted\&. Any argument defined as a
       set of alternatives can generate this error\&.
