Re: Force feedback in Linux

From: Сергей Беляшов <hidden>

Hello
   My joystick Logitech Force 3D Pro (0x046d:0xc286) successfully
detected by current kernel (I have 2.6.27). But force feedback cannot
work properly (it works only with one axis). This joystick have 2 FF
axises (X and Y), but kernel supports only one (fftest program moves
only in X-axis): I cannot found any IOCTLs which can be used for
switching axises for force feedback effects. Also, it is no any
discussion about that.
   I want to impliment neccessary functionality but kernel redesign is
required, I think.

Best regards,
Sergey Belyashov

this feature (I did not found any IOCTLs which can change axis for FF

Hi Sergey,

is that joystick vendor id 0xc215? It is possible that having hid-lgff
driver handle this joystick might be enough, but it's difficult to say
without knowing the exact properties of the device.

Thanks,
