Hi, development team,
I'm using SpaceNavigator 3Dconnexion on my computer running kicad-7.0.7. On the same computer where I am trying kicad-nightly-7.99, SpaceNavigator is not working. Is this a bug? Or is it intentionally disabled in the compilation?

Thank you for your answer.
Rene.

We were having many crashing issues when talking to certain versions of the driver. Because of this, we gated which versions were allowed. It looks like the version comparison function was only checking for equality rather than equal or newer version of the driver. This has been fixed.

Seth, thank you for explaining the problem and correcting it. SpaceNavigator is an absolute necessity for me when using KiCad.

Good luck working on an awesome KiCad project!
Rene.
