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!)

Regards,

Clemens

Effectively the communication runs on an extra thread. Somewhere the event code will need to switch to executing on the main thread.
