SPACENAVD(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      SPACENAVD(8)

NAME

       spacenavd, spnavd_ctl - daemon for 3D-input-devices

SYNOPSIS

       spacenavd
       spnavd_ctl

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the spacenavd commands.

       The  spacenav  project  provides  a  free, compatible alternative, to the proprietary 3Dconnexion device driver and SDK, for their 3D input
       devices (called "space navigator", "space pilot", "space traveller", etc).

       spacenavd, is a free software replacement user-space driver (daemon), for 3Dconnexion's space-something 6dof input devices. It's compatible
       with  the  original 3dxsrv proprietary daemon provided by 3Dconnexion, and works perfectly with any program that was written for the 3Dcon-
       nexion driver.

   Starting
       Depending on how your system startup process is set up, it might be the case that the spacenavd daemon starts  before  the  X  server  (for
       instance  if you don't use a graphical login). In that case the daemon will start properly, but won't connect to the X server until explic-
       itly told to do so. You can do that by running spnavd_ctl x11 start as root, or by using the graphical spnavcfg program. You  don't  really
       want  to have to do that all the time though, so it's a better idea to add the aforementioned spnavd_ctl command to either your ~/.xsession
       or ~/.xinitrd file, or the system-wide /etc/X11/Xsession file.

   Configuration
       The spacenavd daemon reads a number of options from the /etc/spnavrc file. If that file doesn't exist, then  it	uses  default  values  for
       everything. You may use the graphical spnavcfg program to interactively set any of these options.  The daemon should respond immediately to
       your changes, and also the configuration file should be updated automatically.
