Ignore CadMouse Compact #80

Closed r-lind closed 1 year ago

r-lind commented 1 year ago

If not ignored by spacenavd my CadMouse Compact (256f:c655) stops working in current Debian Sid. Perhaps other mice (CadMouse Pro *) should be ignored too or perhaps spacenavd extended to work more like 3Dconnexion software for Windows/macOS for these mice.

Thank you. I don't have experience on what the 3dconnexion driver does on windows and mac, could you explain?

r-lind commented 1 year ago

3Dconnexion does somethng like spacenavd+libratbag with a single coherent UI and what in the DOS days would have been a TSR which is brought up with a special button on the device with an application specific menu for different CAD software etc. Don't know if there is something similar generic in like Gnome/KDE. Perhaps there are patents.

Thanks for the explanation. I wasn't aware of ratbag. I guess that means managing the mouse in some way, like changing dpi and button maps? I don't think we want to do that with spacenavd for now. I'll leave mice to the X server and separate 3rd party utilities.

You're welcome! When it comes to the 3Dconnexion cad mice someone has tried do to some stuff: https://github.com/guillaumechauvat/cadmousectl I guess someone should include it in say ratbag and as you say, keep spacenavd for the 3D mice.
