:idea: Aah! You are using an older driver version, the xdriver! I'm sorry, I wasn't aware. I was talking about our latest driver, 3DxWareUnix. In the xdriver's panel, called "Motion Control Center" do the following to map a new macro to one of the buttons: - select the button you want to m...

Hi Greg, to change the speed of zooming you should open in the 3DxWareUnix driver window the "Sensitivity and Filters" tab. There you can change the speed. There are three sliders: one for the speed while "Panning", one for the speed of the "Rotations" and one to change...

Hi bsintes, Google Earth for Linux does not support our devices at the moment (see here ). If you want to use the SpaceExplorer with another application that has the interface of our SDK integrated you should proceed as follows: - open the application and open the driver window - activate you applic...

We dropped support for SGI / Irix some time ago. The last driver for Irix supports only the serial models of SpaceMouse Classic, SpaceMouse Plus/XT, SpaceBall 4000 FLX and SpaceBall 5000.

Hello Manfredi, And, here are the good news, spaceball 4000 FLX is supported. just type "inputattach --spaceball /dev/ttyS0" and the spaceball will be recognized by the system as a joystick. There is only a BIG problem, it doesn't work. I have no information about the command inputattach. ...

Hello xemet,

the data of the device is sent via XClientMessages to the active window (InputFocus). An example for an application that reads this data (xapp.c) is in our Unix/Linux SDK. You can get it from http://www.3dconnexion.com/support/4h.php.

Hi Tosuja,

the support for our 3D navigation devices was implemented by the manufacturer of Ansa directly. Please ask BETA CAE Systems for improvement.

Hello jb, our USB devices are standard HID device, an open standard, and can be controlled in different ways (as you can see is happening in other Forum topics). The serial interface is a legacy solution and the SpaceExplorer Serial is being marketed only for UNIX. The serial protocol is not made pu...

Hi, 3Dconnexion just provides the 3DxWareUnix for the 3D navigation devices such as SpaceMouse, Space Traveler, SpaceExplorer.

Hi Stefan, do you get any messages on the command line when you start it from there? Please add -debug -E to the start of the driver to get more information. The start of the driver would look like this: /etc/3DxWare/daemon/3dxsrv -d usb -debug -E A log file /tmp/3DxWare.log is created then and can ...

See this post about our legacy 3DxOffice plugin and 64bit.

Hi yfx2003, the configuration Any Application is used by the driver for any application where no default configuration is available. (All default configurations are saved at /etc/3DxWare/) As soon as you change anything (for example a button mapping) and save it this newly created configuration is j...

For those who don't want to wait for the next release and who don't want to struggle with the workaround: we do have a beta version for this problem. If you want to have it please send a private message to me with your email address.
