How to test

[toft864]

Hi,

Did the install, dmesg gives this output - I'm trying to use the wheel in rfactor 2 thru steam, running manjaro - but can't get any response from the wheel or pedals.

Any way to actually test that it works ?

To test the input run evtest, also take note of the device path (ex. /dev/input/event19 ). To test the forcefeedback run fftest [device path] and ffmvforce [device path], on Ubuntu those two programs are found in the joystick packet.

I'm trying to use the wheel in rfactor 2 thru steam

Anyway a Reddit user reported having problem with Steam installed as a flatpack, maybe is your case? (link)

evtest, fftest and ffmvforce all works fine. Steam is installed thru the manjaro package - but still no luck with rfactor.

Switch off all other controllers. It might be grabbing them instead of the wheel. You can also redefine the controls in the game. I've had that problem even with a graphics tablet.

[toft864]

Is it ok that it's detected as both /dev/input/event19 and /dev/input/js0 ? Should the controller settings section in Steam detect it ?

[dpisklov]

@toft864 if you're using Manjaro with KDE like myself, there's a section in System Settings -/ Input Devices -/ Game Controller, the wheel is there and showing all the axes as well as the buttons. For me it worked like a charm in Manjaro, I use it with ATS - great work @scarburato

evtest, fftest and ffmvforce all works fine

This is then a steam problem, not a driver problem. I suggest to close this
