Hello I need Help

I Have 2 problems with 3DConnexion

I have a 3DConnexion SpaceMouse Enterprise
I will install a Driver for Linux to use it with Freecad I am testing first the "spacenavd" a free and Open Source Driver, but it make many problems. I will install the Linux Driver from 3Dconnexion but it exist no Driver for Debian or Ubuntu only for Suse and Redhead and other Unix.

Thats the first Problem

Treiber Download 3DxWare 10 Archives - 3Dconnexion DE

The second Problem is
How i can uninstall the spacenavd Driver

3Dconnexion 3Dconnexion Eingabegeräte - FreeCAD Documentation

sudo apt-get install spacenavd

sudo apt remove --purge spacenavd

sudo apt clean && sudo apt autoremove

From your download link, you get:
3dxware-linux-v1-8-0.x86_64.tar.gz
Right click and Extract the file (extract here)

Open a terminal. First, you will need to install a dependency that the package needs:

sudo apt install libmotif-dev

Once that is done, you will get a file libxm.so.4
According to the package developer, you must symlink libxm.so.4 to represent libxm.so.3... However, I do not believe this step is necessary as the libmotif-dev package above includes libxm.so.3 with it.

So, your next step is to open a terminal In The Directory that you just extracted. You can enter that directory with your file manager or cd (change directory) into it:

cd ~/Downloads/3dxware-linux-v1-8-0.x86_64

Once the terminal is open in that directory, run the installer script:

./install-3dxunix.sh

After this point: I have no idea. I cannot predict what other troubles it may give - nor whether it will work as it is quite aged.

I make it but it do not run

I really am not sure on this. I have not used a Spacemouse (For the curious Reader, it is 100% worth it to Google Search 3DConnexion SpaceMouse Enterprise and have a gander at that beast).

The driver you are examining has a lot of caveats listed by the developer to get it working.
And the instructions have not been updated since Linux Kernel 2-something.

What was wrong with spacenavd?

What was wrong with spacenavd?

When i am using the Driver do not work with the wheel and keys, only as a second Mouse, when i am using the first mouse and the Spacemous at the same time, the complete Computer freezes, no Keyboard, no Mouse

And the System is unstable
