Works like a charm! Thank you very much, Christian. Again excellent service from 3dconnexion! and I can go back to hacking in support for the spacepilot into sxemacs

When I fire up xapp then the 3dxware window says "Any Application", and xapp prints the motion information. It does not, however, print the button press and release information. So basically the case MagellanInputButtonPressEvent is never switched to. My testing around with various things ...

Ok. I have finally gotten *something* to detect my pressing of the keys on the 3d spacepilot. Xev reports the buttons as keypress events and keypress releases. Not as client messages as per the API. What am I doing wrong here?

Extra information: 3DxwareUNIX = V1.2.27, ID 3734 (some beta driver of some sort I believe it is too). XInternAtom gives me MotionEvent = 378, ButtonPressEvent=379 and ButtonReleaseEvent=380. This is the very same as the xapp is reporting so atleast the interning is working. It does however seem to ...

It's not *that* much work. I'm working on SXEmacs support for the spacepilot at the moment. After this will come the jack plugin for audio stuff (having it send MIDI events and what not).

I have run into problems using my SpacePilot. It seems that neither xapp (from the SDK) or the app I am woking on are registrering the button events from my SpacePilot. They *do* work in blender though. On top of this both the xapp (from the SDK) and my own code are registrering motion data. Why is ...

It works

Thank you very much for the excellent help

3DxWareUNIX = V1.2.17, ID 3493

The very same one that works fine on my other system. Main difference there is that one is running kernel 2.6.24 instead of the .25.

I recently plugged my 3d spacepilot into my new computer (it worked like a charm on my old machine) which is 32 bit debian GNU/Linux with a linux 2.6.25 kernel. Running 3dxware -d usb segfaults, but the spacepilot does light up. I have tried -d /dev/mouse1 as suggested in other threads but I have no...
