Issue with uncommon pointing device.

[Drew Ogle]

I have a uncommon pointing device - a 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator.

Using Fedora 10's 1.5.2, evdev it recognizes it, but isn't sure what to do
with the device.

(II) 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator: Found x and y relative axes
(WW) 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator: Don't know how to use device

being the operational snippet from the log.

What I would like to do is just be able to plug it in, use all 5 axises of
control and  control the various settings it has.
Currently the manufacturer has a pretty gnarly motif based app that serves
as the interface/control for the device so that you can run applications
that utilize the device.

I think that with the XInput properies that were mentioned all of that could
be removed.
I would be willing to do whatever work is needed to get it to work as such,
whether that would be writing a custom driver or making changes to evdev.
