AUR package issues
@LukasLichten There was recently an issue (#123) about the driver not working when installed through the AUR package, I tried replicating on a virtual machine but seemed to work just fine. I'm not too familiar with the AUR, do you have some input on what could be happening?
On a sidenote, apparently there's at least one improvement suggestion on the package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hid-tmff2-dkms-git#comment-991633, probably not related...?
I agree. Luckily manual reinstallation made the module work again. After an hour of debugging I finally found these issues. Thank God... I was already sure that Oversteer app is bugged

I don't know how I missed the email notifying me of this, but well I did miss it

This was honestly in large parts just a nitpick, a lot of wheel driver packages are automatically inserting the kernel module, I had forked the .install from another such driver.
The only issues this caused is that if you installed a newer kernel version it would pull the kernel module to install it for the new kernel, so you end up without a driver till reboot.
But something that probably did/is causing issues is the hid_thrustmaster module loading itself, as you had to amply the blacklist manually as specified in Common Issues. I was able to use the kernel module just fine this way.
The Arch DKMS package guidelines, which are quite hard to find (compared to the standard AUR guidelines), did however also specify a way to include the blacklist.conf, so starting with the newest version of the PKGBUILD the previous issue is addressed, and the blacklist should (hopefully) make it work now for everyone. The Commit.
