Spaceball 3Dconnexion under Virtualbox

Post by MacMoto »

Hello,

I just recognized the language.

I'm using Kununtu 8.04 and want to work in Virtualbox under XP with the CAD programm Catia. No problem so far, but now I want to use my 3Dconnexion Space Navigator (a spaceball). It runs under Linux, I can also install the driver in XP, but the space ball is not working. I got no Error message during installation.

Is it possible to get a device like this (a special mouse on USB port) running?

Eric

Same Problem:
Host: Debian Jessie (64bit) on AMD 64 machine.
Guest: Windows 7 Pro (64bit) on Virtual Box

Creo 3.0 is running fine at the Guest.

I want to use my 3dconnexion space pilot pro.
I don't need the space pilot at the host system.

The installation of the driver at the guest system executed without errors.

But the space pilot isn't working correctly, only the mouse pointer is running along the screen (very fast), if I operate the space pilot.

I think, the best solution would be, to route the usb connection of the space pilot directly to the guest system,
but how can I do?

Does anyone know?

Best regards,
Kaengo
