Trackir^2 Linux Drivers?

Post by mbparrish »

When will a TrackIR^2 open source linux driver be available? I'd like to run it on my Itanium 2 linux machine as well as my VIA Mini-ITX linux machine.

We had an older version compatible with the Linux OS but unfortunately the programmer who did these never carried them on.

I wish that I could have been more help.

I have a new version of the package that should support all current and past models of the trackIR and SmartNAV.

In addition to having the firmware files included in the distribution package, this update uses libusb to talk with the device and no longer requires you to patch your kernel.

If you would like to receive a copy of this next version before it is released, please send an email to trackir@superlucidity.net and we'll give you the required download information.

Cheers,
