Example "simple" gets stuck in "spnav_wait_event(&sev)"

[yottasyno]

Hello,

I connected the 3Dconnexion mouse via usb, started the spacenavd and launched the example "simple". Unfortunately it is not printing to the console when I move the 3D mouse.

Can someone help with this?

Thanks a lot!

Which 3dconnexion mouse? Are you running simple_x11 or simple_af_unix? Does /var/log/spnavd.log have anything interesting in it?

I restarted everything. Plugged the mouse in and out. Now I managed to connect and print the values to the console. Not sure what the problem was. I tried different daemons and libraries and maybe created some conflicts. I'm giving all information anyways, maybe there is some useful feedback:

Thanks a lot for the quick response! Thanks for this alternative to the official SDK!
