1. Check if the mouse is recognized by the system
|
|
```bash
|
|
grep 3Dconnexion /proc/bus/input/devices
|
|
```
|
|
1. Install open source drivers [libspnav](https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libspnav/) and [spacenavd](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spacenavd)from the AUR (propriatary drivers are very old)
|
|
|
|
1. test the setup by running the daemon manually (test programs like [FreeCAD](https://www.freecad.org/) might need to be restarted)
|
|
```bash
|
|
spacenavd -v -d
|
|
```
|
|
1. the daemon is provided in the form of `spacenavd.service` by the [spacenavd](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spacenavd) package and can be started or enabled with [systemctl](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemctl)
|
|
|
|
## configuration via GUI
|
|
to view and modify the button mappings as well as the general configuration install the [spnavcfg](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spnavcfg) package from the AUR
