Hi CASA, when you go through the installation you are asked if you want to install the start of the driver into the /etc/inittab or not. In your case it could be a problem with the user's $HOME directory. You could try to start the driver with the option -altUserConfigDir <dir> . This changes the d...

More news. Both the new and the old driver with the old spaceball work too... when started from $HOME_user/.dtprofile, as I supposed, not from inittab as default installation makes it. I put it in the /etc/profile and it didn't work, it must be started from the command line by the user or one of his...

Hi CASA, when you have an entry in the /etc/inittab the driver is started when the machine is up. It then checks if someone is logged in and if no one is logged in you will see the message in the log file "failed to get user". Which is ok then. I understand, but this error also happens wh...

It looks as if the driver has problems to read the default configurations in /etc/3DxWare. Do the files default.scg and default_10.scg exist there? Did you change them? The .3dxcfg user directory was made after I looked in the log and tried to run it, saying that folder was unusable or something li...

Back in the village. I have managed to attach a SPball 4000 (SpacePilot said the guy) via USB, and run the latest drivers. Still no success. Tired of it, I have replaced the entry at /etc/inittab with this line: 3d:234:respawn:/etc/3DxWare/daemon/3dxsrv -debug -E -d usb </dev>/dev/null 2>&1 So t...

Re: Now it's not Debian, it's HP-UX

Hey, at least you are still in a good temper and jocular. :D Hopefully I am not changing your high spirits ... Look - the driver you have was made a long time ago. I wasn't involved and hence don't know about it. And at this time no HPUX 11 existed. Therefore I think this is an OS issue. This drive...

Re: Now it's not Debian, it's HP-UX

Hi CASA, your problem is something different. The SpaceBall 2003 aren't supported since a while. The current driver does not recognize these devices. Driver version 7.3 and 9.0 is a very old driver, which was called Spaceware and was made by Labtec. This was the company that created the first Space...

Now it's not Debian, it's HP-UX

Hello all here. :) I was wondering whether to open a new thread or post a reply, because my issue has to do with the same problems here mentioned. But now, it's not a linux machine; it happens, the same thing, to a dozen or more HP C8000 workstations, with HP-UX 11.11 (we have plenty of other models...
