Problems to use my Logitech G29 Wheel in Linux

[leillo1975]

Hello When I try to play with my G29 Wheel on Ubuntu, I get the following error: https://youtu.be/RIs_nudYhik

Is impossible to select one option in the menu because is like you are pressing constantly the down button.

Hi!

Configuration of this is not easy :D Probably you need to do something with axes.

Edit ~/.nfs2se/nfs2se.conf and try to do something with (uncomment and edit): Joystick0AxisValueShift Joystick0Axes Joystick0Buttons Especially Joystick0Axes after color (negative values, etc.). There should be a simple guideline at the top of the file.

You can use any software for watching your wheel (evdev), maybe try evdev-joystick.

If I push and mantein the clutch (Axis1) to the medium value, is possible to stop this error...

[leillo1975]

I remove clutch changing Joystick0Axes=0,2,3:1,0,0 Where Axis0 is direction, Axis2 is Accelerator and Axis3 is brake.... but now I need to push the accelerator some to use the menu as normal.

EDIT: Corrected using as first axis the DPad (Axis4): Joystick0Axes=4,0,2,3:0,1,0,0

Today it don't work again.... something is not good here

Hi @leillo1975 - I had the same problems with my G25. I had to change the axis settings to this:

Joystick0Axes=0,1,2,3:0,-1,1,1

It was just dumb luck after a lot of trial and error. But it works!

[leillo1975]

I will try it tomorrow. Thanks a lot!

[leillo1975]

Finally I could try it today, and it works, but I can't accelerate more than 49kmh, and the accelerate bar stops on the half

@leillo1975 Try to set one of values: 0, 1, -1 after colon (:) for axis which doesn't work properly and check every settings (save the file and restart game). First value after colon corresponds to first chosen axis, etc: Joystick0Axes=0,1,2,3:0,-1,1,1 - 0 type for axis 0, -1 type for axis 1, 1 type for axis 2 and 3.

3 different solutions:

Config file:

• edit ~/.nfs2se/nfs2se.conf
• remove # from beginning of line and set to: Joystick0Axes2=0,1,2,3,4,5:0,-1,0,0,0,0

Vanilla kernel driver (not touching config file):

• install oversteer application (AUR)
• choose "Driving Force GT" or "Driving Force Pro" compatibility
• press apply
• check the "Accelerator + Brakes" combine button

new-lg4ff-dkms-git kernel driver (AUR, not touching config file):

• install oversteer application (AUR)
• check the "Accelerator + Clutch" combine button.

Now you can also set JoystickDisableAxesInMenu=1 in config file.
