One other piece of information I forgot to include is that for development 
under Linux you can use the libspnav0(-dev) libraries. The description for 
the library is:

The spacenav project provides a free, compatible alternative to the
proprietary 3Dconnexion SDK for their 3D input devices (called "space
navigator", "space pilot", "space traveller", etc).

That eliminates the worry about needing to use proprietary drivers.
