## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<xcb/xproto.h\>**

### Request function

xcb\_void\_cookie\_t **xcb\_change\_pointer\_control**(xcb\_connection\_t \**conn*, int16\_t *acceleration\_numerator*, int16\_t *acceleration\_denominator*, int16\_t *threshold*, uint8\_t *do\_acceleration*, uint8\_t *do\_threshold*);\

## REQUEST ARGUMENTS

- *conn*

  The XCB connection to X11.
