I use maxima 5.14.0 in fedora core 6 and I don't get mouse support with
plot3d. However, with draw3d, the mouse works quite well, rotation with
left mouse, and zooming with middle mouse.
Try e.g.
(%i7) load(draw);
(%o7) /usr/local/share/maxima/5.14.0/share/draw/draw.lisp
(%i8) draw3d(explicit(x^2 - y^2, x,-2,2,y,-2,2));
(%o8) [gr3d(explicit)]
Look at the maxima manual for draw
