Hi DeHeinie,

also, das Logfile ist nicht vom Update-Treiber - das ist von Version 1.2.7. Installiere doch bitte Version 1.2.11 - jetzt auch auf unserer Webseite verfügbar. Dann sollte der Hack nicht mehr notwendig sein.

Eigentlich ist es nicht notwendig eine bestimmte Lib zu installieren. Das mit dem OpenMotif hast Du ja schon selbst heraus gefunden. Ansonsten würde der Treiber eine Fehlermeldung ausgeben. (Falls Du ihn von der Kommandozeile startest siehst Du sie.) Gibt es eine LogDatei? Wenn ja, schick sie mir do...

Hallo DeHeinie,

den Beta-Treiber gibt es noch nicht zum Download, ich hoffe aber, dass wir diese Version bald veröffentlichen können.

Schick mir doch bitte Deine Emailadresse in einer privaten Nachricht, dann kann ich Dir den Treiber zuschicken.

Hi aguzz, unfortunately you will not be able to use the SpaceNavigator on your first system with kernel 2.6.4. :( The minimum requirement for our USB devices is kernel 2.6.8. This noted in the InstallationInstructions . But the second system is recent enough. You just need the driver that has the fi...

Hi RoboticGolem, it looks as if you ran into the problem "failed to get user". This is a known problem (see here ). We have a beta version of the driver that has a fix for this problem. If you want to have it, please send me your email address in a private message and I will sen the driver...

Hallo Eiko,

gut, daß das Problem gelöst ist. Danke für's Feedback.
Viel Spaß noch mit dem Gerät!

Hi Dan, can you give me more details about your RHEL 4? My machine has the same RHEL: [uludwig@rhel4_linux ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant Update 5) [uludwig@rhel4_linux ~]$ uname -a Linux rhel4_linux 2.6.9-55.EL #1 Fri Apr 20 16:25:34 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64...

Hi Dan,

it would be helpful if you could update the driver to the current version, which is 1.2.7.

Do you see any progress with the newer driver?

Thx,

Hi Dan, you get the error from the Xlib only if you start the driver from the command line. The start from the /etc/inittab should work without xhost + Could you please add the option -debug -E to the start of the driver? The line in the /etc/inittab would then look like this: 3dx:2345:respawn:/etc/...

With the help of our users we could fix this issue! :) A beta version is available for those who encounter the problem that the driver could not identify the logged in user ("failed to get user"). Please send me a private message with your email address and your system details (Linux distr...

Hallo Eiko, gibt es einen Eintrag in der /etc/inittab, der den Treiber startet? Der würde dann so aussehen: 3dx:234:respawn:/etc/3DxWare/daemon/3dxsrv -d usb </dev>/dev/null 2>&1 Falls das der Fall ist, bitte (als root) das Wort "respawn" ändern auf "off" und danach noch den ...

I need some more information from those Linux installations where the driver can not identify correctly the logged in user. If you are willing to help please send me a private message with your email address and Linux details (distribution, arch, kernel). I will send you a short piece of code that r...

What I'm doing, is getting the 6 axis values from the linux event interface, and pass them to xevent.xclient.data.s[2] to s[7]. The SDK code seems to expect the values there. Then I'm passing the time interval from the previous motion event to s[8] (in milliseconds). The order of the axis values is...

The spacenavigator can be configured in the xorg.conf, without the 3dxware stuff. Yes, if you want to use it with Blender (or another 3D application that supports input devices via this possibility) this would work. But if you want to use our device wit ProE Wildfire, Unigraphics NX, or Maya or ......

So, your problem is not the "user not found" issue. It seems that on your machine there is a problem with the fonts. We will check the code if we can find the cause, but this issue has a low priority due to the fact that you are working with an unsupported Linux distribution. We will post ...
