Linux support
<t>I tried out a TrackIR last year around this time (a friend of mine had one). It would work under Windows fine, but there was (virtually) no Linux support. At that time I was told that the next version would support Linux. If it did, I would buy it without hesitation (to save my wrist). Can someon...

Re: Status of Linux drivers
<t>That's the same with me. I've very interested in the TrackIR (to save my wrists), but if it doesn't work under Linux, then I won't use it. I had to give back the one I borrowed to try out (well...

Re: Status of Linux drivers
<t>I've downloaded the trackir package, patched my kernel, etc.<br/> <br/> The INSTALL.trackir tells me that if I'm not using devfs (which I'm not) then I need to create the device node. I'd love to... I just need to know the major/minor number and device node names. Can anyone help with this?<br/> ...
