How to counter this? No, I am not running any game. I just wanted to
apply these effects to my wheel.
Please help.

Hi Anisha,
Do you have the appropriate FF module built and loading in your kernel, it
was recently moved to be enabled with 'LOGIWHEELS_FF' and is supported by
the code in 'drivers/hid/hid-lg4ff.c'

Can you check '/var/log/syslog' to see what it reported when the wheel is
connected?

PS. I have this wheel at it would appear to work fine.
