Hello, Markus! I can offer to do some testing / debugging on Arch Linux. (I'm currently on boost 1.75.0, but I hope it is not needed as dependency.) I cannot help with proprietary / closed source drivers.
My SpaceNav was sleeping in my drawer for ages, so the rubber parts became sticky as chewing gum! 8-/ $ lsusb shows: Bus 007 Device 002: ID 046d:c626 Logitech, Inc. 3Dconnexion Space Navigator 3D Mouse I recommend to have a look into the blender, calligra, freecad, openscad integration of spacenav/libspnav. http://spacenav.sourceforge.net/ (https doesn't seem to work, currently!)
