Jey, so far it's all just directly writing to the driver. I wish there was a library of some kind, but there's not really one. I'm seriously considering writing one, probably SDL-based. Glad you're interested Smile

jdeneux, someone on #vdrift IRC with the same wheel as me reported that it worked continuously for over two minutes for him when he tested it. He was using a fairly recent kernel (2.6.20 i think) and I'm using 2.6.17. Soon I'll upgrade and do more testing...probably this weekend.

stenyak, I'm not really unloading the effects, I'm pretty sure they're still in the device's buffer at least because the "force feedback light" on the wheel stays on even after I stop playing. I need to look into how to manage the effects better. The code that's in forcefeedback.cpp in VDrift SVN right now is basically just the same stuff from ffcfstress.c, copied and adapted to C++ a little. I don't believe that had any unloading code either.
