Hmm. Like this?
Device '3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator':
Device Enabled (133): 1
Evdev Reopen Attempts (266): 10
Evdev Axis Inversion (267): 0, 0
Evdev Axis Calibration (268):
Evdev Axes Swap (269): 0
Evdev Middle Button Emulation (270): 2
Evdev Middle Button Timeout (271): 50
Evdev Wheel Emulation (272): 1
Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes (273): 0, 0, 4, 5
Evdev Wheel Emulation Inertia (274): 0
Evdev Wheel Emulation Timeout (275): 200
Evdev Wheel Emulation Button (276): 0
Evdev Drag Lock Buttons (277): 0
Because I still get mouse movements when I do that.

Ok, I haven't tried this yet, but use this tip when I get the
