Note: Tenebrous Pau reports that as of Second Life 1.20.0 84432 (possibly earlier), the SL viewer has built in support for the SpaceNavigator, including controlling your avatar, manipulating objects in build mode, and using the flycam.  This works for him on Vista 32-bit, with the latest 3DConnexion drivers (no need for RBC9).
