Sure! In fact, it basically works: actions on the Space Navigator give 
reactions.

When moving one side, for example, the 3d view rotates accordingly; 
but 'reverting' the move won't revert 100% of the time in the 3D view, or 
will require many steps to revert, or will need to do another totally 
different gesture, and then go back on the first gesture to be able to do it.

The two buttons don't seem to work at all... 

Scaling the view (either numpad [-] and [+] or mouse wheel doesn't work at 
all...

Numpad [7] give the top view, but [1] and [3] doesn't provide the regular 
face/side views... [0] behaves strangely too... many times I have to use 
numpad [/] to re-center on the selected object (the default cube of the 
scene) because I can't manipulate the views according to my wishes.

I'm on Gnu/Linux Kubuntu 6.06 LTS, with a fresh SVN build.

Hope this is helpful, and doesn't sound harsh. I have no other experience with 
the Space Navigator, so I guess part of these experimentations could 
originate from bad use from me, but all the numpad manipulations looks tied 
to the ndof thing, that's quite sure ;-)
