Howdy! Is there a driver for the 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator for OpenSolaris?
Thanks!
Looks like, No from the driver page. I went to the website and they
only have drivers for the SpacePilot, SpacePilotPro and SpaceExplorer
Serial for both X86 and Sparc. A Sparc only driver for SpaceExplorer USB.
But looking at the "Release_Notes-All_Platforms_20090806.pdf" on page
8 (shown below) shows the the same driver works on all devices. I
would call them for clarification.
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.
