Re: [brlcad-users] Spaceball/space "puck"

[Christopher S. M. <br...@ma...>]

BRL-CAD's "MGED" geometry editor does have support for the SGI dial  
and button boxes, but does not have native support for spaceball  
controllers.  You'd have to either describe the spaceball events as a  
streaming sequence of MGED commands (entirely feasible and relatively  
simple) or write a simple driver.  The latter wouldn't be very  
difficult at all, but would be pretty low priority.

Cheers!
