Hi folks!
I've been reading through some of the old stuff on here, and I think it's time to get the Logitech Driving Force Pro wheel working 100% under linux. With the work that's been done before, esp. the G25 stuff, I don't think it should be too hard.
What I've gotten so far:
* Using
this info and tof8pool's
kernel patch, I've added the unique hardware ID for the DFP to the kernel. I'll try to make an actual patch later - basically, take the 2.6.28 patch, s/299/298/, s/G25/DFP/
* Grabbed the G25manage app, tweaked it to use the few known DFP commands.
At this point, I can put the wheel into native mode & set 900 deg rotation. As soon as I put it into native mode, the device (/dev/input/event4) disappears [as semi-expected]. My impression was that the kernel changes would take care of this, but apparently not.

Obviously, the problem is in the 'no device to rebind' error - for whatever reason, the new device at 0xc298 isn't showing up - even though it seems to be according to dmesg.
Any tips or thoughts are appreciated, I just started digging in to this, so haven't exactly done all the research I should've. I'll keep digging in my spare time, and hopefully learn a thing or two and make some progress.
//Also, I'm going to start hacking on a new user space util, hopefully one that can deal with both G25 and DFP. Or at least make my own DFPmanage program...
