Troubleshooting
---------------
If you're having trouble running spacenavd, read the up to date FAQ on the
spacenav website: http://spacenav.sourceforge.net/faq.html

If you're not sure if spacenavd is set up correctly and works with your device,
a good first step is to try and run the "simple" example program which comes
with libspnav. It builds into two variants: `simple_af_unix` and `simple_x11`,
which is helpful for testing both supported communication protocols. If either
or both fail to work, there's something wrong with your setup.

If you're still having trouble, send a description of your problem to the
spacenav-users mailing list: [email protected] along with a
copy of your /var/log/spnavd.log and any other relevant information.
