Daniel,

In IrisGL you have the libspaceball support which allows you to read the
spaceball through the IrisGL input support (qread, getvaluator, etc.).
If you used that approach, then the best way to convert is to start
reading inputs using X11 (works also for IrisGL). The spaceball support
is an X11 extension. On Irix6.2, don't forget to install the optinput
(optional input) software, as it is not installed defaultly. If you were
reading your spaceball with X11, then you have nothing to convert.
