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. This error may occur if an XSetDe- viceMode request is made specifying a device that has no valuators and reports no axes of motion. An invalid mode was specified.
