For helix I have prepared the following udev rule:
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", ATTRS{name}=="3Dconnexion Space*",
SYMLINK+="input/3d-nav", MODE="0666"
This matches the USB device name against "3Dconnexion Space*", which
should cover all 6DOF devices from 3Dconnexion. It also symlinks that
device to a fixed position so that programs can make assumptions about
the device name without probing the linux input layer.
Maybe this is useful for you.
Bye,
Simon
