For what it's worth, I took a SpaceBall 5000 (serial port version) and attached it to my Laptop. My Laptop has no serial port, so I used a serial port to usb adapter. To install the driver I had to copy the files into the appropriate files to their correct locations manually. After this I issued the command (please note, the serial port to usb adapter shows up as a serial port!): # /etc/3DxWare/daemon/3dxsrv -d /dev/term/0 3DxWareUNIX = V1.4.0 Device = Spaceball 4000 Firmware = V2.45 OK, it started, just showing the incorrect SpaceBall version. Next I started up Pro-Engineer Wildfire 5 and opened a 3D model. The SpaceBall worked. So at least the driver does work with Opensolaris b131 (X86), with a serial port SpaceBall 5000 and a serial port to USB adapter and Pro-Engineer Wildfire 5.
