Greetings
I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 as a host and Windows XP as a guest in a VM under VMWare Workstation 6.5.
I'd like to use my Logitech Driving Force Pro wheel with the VM in order to play certain racing games, but I have a problem.
VMWare detects the wheel and, in fact, tries to use it (AFAIK, it disconnects the device from the host machine and connects it to the VM), but the problem is that the host machine always request the device and "steals" it from the VM machine, causing the device to go crazy cause is initializating all the time.
Something I should mention: currently, this wheel is not supported by Linux (altough it is detected). Is there any problem with that?
Thank you very much.
