Fwd: osgwMx spaceball support

[Paul Martz]

Hi -- I discussed this with the original developer to refresh my memory on the VRPN support. 

The gamepad support was a client feature request and was originally done using the optional DirectX dependency on Windows. Subsequently, support for VRPN was added so that the gamepad would be available cross-platform. Spaceball-type devices were never tested with the VRPN code and support for them was never a design goal. You are welcome to submit support for a device, if you'd like.

We believe that the osgVRPN project (on sourceforge) supports some spaceball devices, but we are pretty sure that it supports only serial spaceballs and not USB spaceballs.

I successfully build VRPN and osgWorks with examples. I have a 3DConnexion SpaceMouse Pro and was told this is supported with osgwMx. Is it or have I done something wrong? I am trying it with the example MxMovement. I look forward to hearing from you as soon as you can.
