Hi all,

I uploaded a patch to add support for the 3D connexion Space Navigator to the blender 2.44 sources. It does not need the proprietary drivers from connexion, instead it uses the XInput evdev device driver. The code is in alpha status, so please provide feedback. You can find the patch under:

https://projects.blender.org/tracker/?group_id=9&atid=127&func=detail&aid=6764

Have fun space navigating

Regards

Otto

we started an official project with contribution fom 3Dconnexion.

While Xinput is a worthwhile way of adding support for X11, the fact it needs user manual configuration makes it a bit difficult for the not technical user.

I would rather use something like libHID (the spacenav is a true HID device)

OK, so see the patch as an intermediate hack to add support for the device under linux.
