![]() I know that Winebottler would be an alternative method to set things up but Brew is actually really nice. # install wine and cabextract (this will take a while) # make sure the homebrew repo is up-to-date I noticed that the Wiki page concentrates only on Debian at the moment, maybe a bit of restructuring so that instructions for other distros can be added easily is a good idea? won't happen for a long while - if ever - because this stuff is all vendor-specific with no standardized interface such a tool could leverage. Besides patching the kernel there is not much more that can be done to improve the experience. Support for other force feedback effects that "constant force": In the works, proof of concept code working, lots of testing requiredįorce feedback is mostly a kernel thing. 4.2 (currently in -rc7) Various cleanups and improvements, most of them irrelevant for a general user 4.1 Reworked wheel identification and mode switching code, all current and future revisions of supported wheels should be recognized properly 3.13 Various improvements to the handling of autocentering and "constant force" force feedback effect 3.10 Support for a newer revision of DFGT added 3.2 Initial support for force feedback and range change, DFP, DFGT, G25 and G27 supported The brief history of Logitech wheels support in Linux can be summarized like this: But I guess some people might be interested in gamepads, also. Quote from felplacerad :And oh, I forgot one important aspect: the configuration of input devices, primarily a Wheel. Is this all to be expected?Įdit: So since we're not able to use ltwheelconf anymore am I correct in assuming that ffset is the way to go for configuring gain and autocenter while range should be configured by editing /sys/module/hid_logitech/drivers/hid:logitech/*:*/range by hand? There is no one tool to rule them all? But to be honest calling this "Force Feedback" is VERY kind - "FORCE" seems more appropriate since the only effect I can notice is the centering spring. Although I did not notice any force feedback before running ffcfstress (provided by the "joystick" package) to test the FF. I'll try to cover both.Įdit: Ok, my current kernel (3.16.7) had no problem identifying my G25 and wine+LFS picked it up nicely, too. I've got a G25 and a Xbox 360 Wireless Controller. If someone have setup a wheel in Linux recently I would not mind receiving some feedback on the matter. I remember LTWheelConf but apparently that functionality has been implemented into the kernel (does anyone know what version?). And oh, I forgot one important aspect: the configuration of input devices, primarily a Wheel.
