Linux force feedback wheel support

[anrp]

Just wanted to poke my head in here. I contacted Logitech about potentially getting tech info on the FFB stuff in the G25 wheel; they said that they couldn't give it out, so that's not going to be any help. :?

I do have good news though; I own a G25, and I have no windows machines except inside VMs, so I have a vested interest in getting it working fully. (Yes, I bought it with the full knowledge that it wasn't going to completely work for me in the beginning. It mostly works, just not all of the features.)

There is one question I have, and this probably isn't so much the right place but I'll ask anyway: would there potentially be legal trouble with the same person reverse engineering and developing a driver for the linux kernel? I personally don't think so, since I'm not looking at any code, just the inputs and outputs of someone else's code. (I'm willing to work with someone else to do two-party RE if someone wants docs.)
