I think it's a layer 8 problem because I'm relative new to Linux running a Linux mint 19.2. I would love to use my 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Wireless in Blender, FreeCad and Paraview, with the Spacenav driver but face some problems that i can't locate.
When i connect the spacemouse, the green (and blue) led shines for about 3 or 4 seconds, and then both disappear and start again (endlessly)
by the way: spacemouse is new (2weeks old) and works fine in windows (I'm an Expert (MCP) in Windows, but want to switch (completely) to Linux)
spnavcfg says the spacenavd driver is running fine (see screenshot)
it also seems that XServer is ignoring the device correctly:
Xorg.0.log:
[ 517.940] (II) config/udev: Adding input device 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Wireless (/dev/input/event27)
[ 517.940] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.
[ 517.940] (II) This device may have been added with another device file.
but spnavd.log says "already using device"
handle_hotplug called
