I have a space mouse (logitech Magellan) that I can get the buttons to show up and work, but the spacemousepuck does not move the mouse cursor.

Is there any way to have a serial joystick (not on sound card) control the mouse pointer?

Even if this is complicated and takes a lot of work, please outline what you think the best way is to solve the problem.  We are fluent in C....and willing to work for our supper.

Thanks,
