Hello,
this is not a real summary, cause I still don't have a solution in my hand.
But cause my question was real a long time ago I want to give you a first
summary. I.e. I would be glad to hear any more Ideas about my question,I append at the end.

Sounds good, but I never received an answer to my requests. Maybe they don't
wont to sell to european guys :-( (Don't laugh, this is sometimes the truth).

Gyration, Inc.
12930 Saratoga Ave., Bldg. C
Saratoga, CA 95070
Telephone: 408-255-3016
Fax: 408-255-9075
The product is called Gyropoint; it is a gyroscopic mouse, with a
transmitter that can fit in your shirt pocket, so it is effectively
cordless.
You tilt your hand/wrist in 3 dimensions (somewhat like flying a plane, I
imagine) to make it move the cursor.
We tested it here; although it was developed for PC's and MAC's, the sun
driver works pretty well; it's just a user-executable program which must
run suid root. They need to add a scaling function, though, since it was
designed for 640x480 pixels, so it requires extra tracking on an 1152x900
display.
I believe the price is around $700.
Good luck.
