I'm sure as we're all aware, there isn't much support for the Logitech steering wheels, and that they go into some compatibility mode when plugged into Linux. I've read up on a thread about the Logitech G25 which has the same issues as I do with this wheel (because it has some components from the G25 ofcourse) and I've been looking for the tools for the G25 to sort out my problems. I don't currently have the VDrift installed, mainly because I've rarely any space left at all on my HDD but I cannot download these tools from
http://vdrift.net/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=...sc&start=0 because the link is dead now. Does anyone know where I can these tools? My wheel is unplayable without them, I can only use 90* of the 900* radius I have and my sequential shifter doesn't work either
Help to get my wheel to work would be very much appreciated!

Thanks a lot NaN! How do I patch the kernel to enable FFB? I'm on kernel version 2.6.38-11

I'm afraid that is no use to me since I have kernel version 2.6.38 and running Ubuntu 11.04. I also don't have a G25, I have a DFGT (which has some parts from the G25).
But I think you could still use it as a template. It looks like it is mostly about adding the device id.
in drivers/hid/hid-core.c add:
{ HID_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_LOGITECH, USB_DEVICE_ID_LOGITECH_DFGT_WHEEL) },
in drivers/hid/hid-ids.h add:
#define USB_DEVICE_ID_LOGITECH_DFGT_WHEEL // DFGT_ID_HERE
in /drivers/hid/hid-lg.c add:
{ HID_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_LOGITECH, USB_DEVICE_ID_LOGITECH_DFGT_WHEEL), .driver_data = LG_FF },
Also look here:

Maybe you should contact Michael Bauer (LTWheelConf creator). As he has been working on DFP support:

Maybe we should add a link to LTWheelConf in the wiki.

I have my wheel working with LTWheelConf, I just have no FFB and trying to drift without FFB is like a dog without it's nose. Just useless. I'll have a deeper look into the HID thing but I am no expert when it comes to CLI.
