Hello all, I am testing the waters to see what the current status of using a Spaceball 5000 with O on Linux. When I last checked, the only driver that existed was supported by a third party and only worked for the serial version of the Spaceball (and not the USB version.) Has anything developped in this area since that last post in Jan 2005? Is it known whether the Spaceball drivers work through GLUT, or are they using a separate interface? Finally, in an unrelated question, what is the status of supporting SGI dials in linux? Looking through the o-info archives, it seems as though multiple solutions exist. Some of these seem to be patches to freeGLUT while others are not. Is there a preference, and what is the recommended best practice? Finally, looking to the future, is there any indication that these hardware issues will become standardized and less difficult to diagnose, both in O and in X?
