I haven't really tested gxid recently, and not at all on
anything but XFree86.

What this probably indicates is that XListInputDevices on
your system is listing some devices that aren't suitable
for passing to XChangePointerDevice, but they aren't
being caught in the checks in init_device().

Probably this means that there needs to be a .gxidrc file
or something that specifies what devices are valid.
