Hi there. I am trying to install the 3Dconnexion driver for my Space Navigator (3D mouse), but I'm such a rookie with Linux installations still that I could really use your help.
Here's an excerpt from the Instructions file:
"Please save the file 3dxware-linux-v1-4-3.i386.tar.gz into the /tmp directory and extract and run the script install-3dxunix.sh:
tar xfz 3dxware-linux-v1-4-3.i386.tar.gz install-3dxunix.sh
./install-3dxunix.sh "
I have already done the first part: saving, extracting, and running the script "install-3dxunix.sh" from the /tmp directory. I did it by double clicking on this file, then choosing "Run".
Then ahead of the previous instructions says:
"If you don't choose during installation the possibility to start the driver during login from the /etc/inittab please make sure the driver is started before you launch your application.
For the USB devices start the driver with the following command:
Linux:
/etc/3DxWare/daemon/3dxsrv -d usb "
But I'm not sure anything happened :( How can I tell?
In order to find out, I went to "/etc/" but I didn't find the "inittab" dir, neither the "3DxWare dir" :(
Can anyone give me a hand?
I'll be eternally thankful :)
