My Linux system is a Xubuntu 8.04 (kernel 2.26) After a lot= of problems, I have made some progress. First I figured out I had to r= ecompile the kernel with options to activate the force feedback support= (PID Force feedback). Sorry, I suppose it was obvious for you. Then I tested my Sidewinder with ff-utils and geforce-0.3. I could get = pretty convincing force effects but only once: after the 1st effect is = finished, if I ask for another one, the system freezes and I have to re= boot. This is a reproducible process. I do not know whether I made some mistake during the compilation of the= kernell (I have no sound and no wifi with this kernel) or if this is a= normal behaviour considering that the Sidewinder FF2 support is experi= mental. I think it is not far from working since the force effects seem= good to me I have another computer with Vista and I installed fedit (to generate f= orce feedback effects) and SniffUsb 2.0 to monitor the USB communicatio= ns between the joystick and the computer. Maybe this could help someone= using my logs to improve the current driver? =20 Many thanks Cr=C3=A9ez votre adresse =C3=A9lectronique prenom.nom@laposte.net=20 1 Go d'espace de stockage, anti-spam et anti-virus int=C3=A9gr=C3=A9s. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" = in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
