# Universal Force Feedback driver for Linux
|
|
|
|
Linux PIDFF driver with useful patches for initialization of FFB devices. Primarily targeting Direct Drive wheelbases.
|
|
|
|
## What's different between this and native pidff driver?
|
|
That driver allows most DirectDrive wheelbases to initialize and work.
|
|
Most of the DirectDrive wheelbases are basically DirectInput wheels, but with some caveats, which Windows allows, but pidff doesn't.
|
|
In that repository - pidff driver with some changes, which allows most of the DirectDrive wheelbases to work.
|
|
|
|
1. Added quirks for better initialization rules for different wheelbases (MOZA, VRS, Cammus)
|
|
2. Fixes for infinite-length effects
|
|
3. Fixes for out-of-bounds values (no more spam in kernel logs)
|
|
|
|
And that's basically it
|
|
|
|
## What devices are supported?
|
|
### Bases:
|
|
1. MOZA R3, R5, R9, R12, R16, R21
|
|
2. ...
|
|
|
|
## What works?
|
|
1. FFB (all effects from device descriptor)
|
|
2. All inputs (wheel axis, buttons)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## What does not work?
|
|
1. Telemetry functions (Shift lights, displays, SimHub, etc), mostly because telemetry works only with proprietary soft, which can't get access to shared memory chunks from games.
|
|
2. `Firmware Update` function. Use Windows PC or Windows VM at the moment.
|
|
3. Setup through proprietary software. May require [some tweaking](#how-to-set-up-a-base-parameters))
|
|
|
|
## How to use this driver?
|
|
There's an [AUR packege](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/universal-ff-dkms-git) for Arch Linux maintained by @Lawstorant
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can install it through DKMS or manually.
|
|
### DKMS
|
|
1. Install `dkms`
|
|
2. Clone repository to `/usr/src/universal-pidff`
|
|
3. Install the module:
|
|
`sudo dkms install /usr/src/universal-pidff`
|
|
4. Update initramfs:
|
|
`sudo update-initramfs -u`
|
|
5. Reboot
|
|
|
|
To remove module:
|
|
`sudo dkms remove universal-ff/<version> --all`
|
|
### Manually
|
|
|
|
1. Install `linux-headers-$(uname -r)`
|
|
2. Clone repository
|
|
3. `make`
|
|
4. `sudo insmod hid-universal-ff.ko`
|
|
|
|
To unload module:
|
|
`sudo rmmod hid_universal_ff`
|
|

|
## Known issues with the driver
|
|
- Buttons above 80 simply don't show up. This is a Linux limitation and we're trying to fix that in the upstream

## Known issues with the firmware

|
You tell me please
