Anthoine, I don't know if you're still on this list or not so I'm cc:ing you. Finally, I've bought myself an spacenavigator. The spnavd/libspnav is in official portage now (masked) so I've tried out that one. Works fine in Blender-2.63a-R2 (well, except the awkward way of panning but that's Blenders "fault")! Will try to find some time to test it properly. Just wanted to let you (and perhaps other interested parties on this list) know... Best regards Peter K
