Carsten,
Interesting, the "quatlib" warning you mention is coming from VRPN,
not from code in VMD itself. You may want to report that to the VRPN
mailing list as it's probably a bug of some sort. Regarding the
buttons, what do you get if you use this option:
device spacenavbuttons vrpnbuttons://exciton/device0:0,1,2,3
Cheers,
John Stone
