I would appreciate any info at all about how to integrate the Polhemus
FASTRAK head-tracker into a Performer app. I got my Spaceball in, no
problem, since it already exists as a GL input device in IRIX 5.2

Polhemus is totally clueless (Duh, we don't have no SGI's here...), and
1-800-800-4SGI got me a similar response (We don't do 3rd party), and I
have never tried to build my own device driver before.

The README in 4Dgifts/examples/devices/input says that there's no
straightforward way to add a GL input device, and to use the X Input
Extensions. It looks like a pretty gnarly process to go that way.

So if anyone's done this before, or knows someone who's done this
before, lemme know!

I already have info on the MR Toolkit from U of Alberta. I may not have
enough time to go that route (because of customer red tape).

Thanks!
