24DESCRIPTION
25-----------
26
27   The XChangeKeyboardDevice request causes the server to use the
28   specified device as the X keyboard. The device must have been
29   previously opened by the requesting client via XOpenDevice or a
30   BadDevice error will result. The device must support input
31   class Keys, or a BadMatch error will result. If the server
32   implementation does not support using the requested device as
33   the X keyboard, a BadDevice error will result.
34
35   If the specified device is grabbed by another client,
36   AlreadyGrabbed is returned. If the specified device is frozen
37   by a grab on another device, GrabFrozen is returned. If the
38   request is successful, Success is returned.
39
40   If the request succeeds, a ChangeDeviceNotify event is sent to
41   all clients that have selected that event. A MappingNotify
42   event with request = MappingKeyboard is sent to all clients.
43   The specified device becomes the X keyboard and the old X
44   keyboard becomes accessible through the input extension
45   protocol requests.
46
47   XChangeKeyboardDevice can generate a BadDevice or a BadMatch
48   error.

50DIAGNOSTICS
51-----------
52
53   BadDevice
54          An invalid device was specified. The specified device
55          does not exist, has not been opened by this client via
56          XOpenInputDevice, or is already one of the core X device
57          (pointer or keyboard). This error may also occur if the
58          server implementation does not support using the
59          specified device as the X keyboard.
60
61   BadMatch
62          This error may occur if an XChangeKeyboardDevice request
63          was made specifying a device that has no keys.
