Space mouse wireless on Fedora 32

Post by eddie7895 »

Hi

I got my space mouse today and I had tried to get it running on fedora 32 but it doesn't work.

After hours of searching over internet to see how to install the driver I did install 3dxware and did everything written here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/3D_Mouse

sudo ./install-3dxunix.sh

This installs 3DxWareUnix V1.7.0 on this machine. Continue? (y/n) [y]
y


Choose one of the following platforms:

1. HP-UX
2. Solaris
3. AIX 5
4. Linux
5. Exit

Please enter your choice (1-5)[4]:
4


Installing files for 3DxWare for Unix / linux......

Uninstalling a running driver. Please wait ...
Done.
cp: '3dxware-linux-v1-7-0.x86_64.tar.gz' and '/tmp/3dxware-linux-v1-7-0.x86_64.tar.gz' are the same file

Done.

Do you want 3DxWareUnix being started with every login (from the /etc/inittab)? (y/n) [y]
n

Please start the driver manually. [/etc/3DxWare/daemon/3dxsrv -d <port>]

For testing purposes you can find the demos
xcube and xvalues at /tmp

HOWEVER
I GET THIS ERROR TO LUNCH THE DRIVER MANUALLY:
sudo /etc/3DxWare/daemon/3dxsrv -d usb

Error: Could not open USB port or no supported device found! Exiting!

sudo /etc/3DxWare/daemon/3dxsrv -d usb -debug7

uddev.c, 921: UdDevInit() 0x22722a0
3dxsrv.c,806: displayname = :0

auth.c :: authGetUser(), FOUND: user home = "/root"
3dxsrv.c :: startupCommandLine(), authGetUser(), user=root
Error: Could not open USB port or no supported device found! Exiting!

sudo /etc/3DxWare/daemon/3dxsrv

Error: Could not open port /dev/spaceball or no supported device found! Exiting!

what can I do to solve this problem?

Hi eddie7895,

try the following:

Code: Select all

su -
/etc/3DxWare/daemon/3dxsrv -d usb
Which SpaceMouse model are you using? Just wondering why you have 3DxWare 1.7.0 and not the newer one 1.8.0.
