Hello!
I'm new to gentoo and I successfully installed gentoo amd_64 on my Sony Vaio FZ-180 Laptop. I am so happy with it compared with Ubuntu but I can't get my driver to work for my 3D motion controller. The specific controller is listed in the following link:
http://www.3dconnexion.com/3dmouse/spacepilot.php
Gentoo is not officially supported by 3Dconnexion so I cannot get complete help from them in resolving this isuue; they only support red hat and opensuse; also they support some unix platforms.
When I issue the following commands, I get their respective errors:
I'm getting "failed to get user"
| Code: |
$ /etc/3DxWare/daemon/3dxsrv -d usb -v

I'm running in root so I don't know why I can't start this driver. The default inittab entry provided by 3dxconnexion isn't working either. It says that 3d is respawning too fast, waiting 5 min or something like that.
This worked fine on Ubuntu so I son't know why it won't work. Ubuntu was really bloated though so I came back to Gentoo.
Thanks for your help, its much appreciated! |
