USB Racing Wheels - Any working in Linux?

[sham69]

Has anyone got a USB racing wheel of any description to run in Linux?

I have an ACT-Labs Formula Force which has no hope of ever working I'm sure.
Hence, a Windows partition for Racing Sims....

I have a cheapy one that works because the inputs are like a standard joypad, although I can't remember the model offhand - I don't use it much because of the space it takes.

I'll get back to you on this.

Yes, I'd be interested to know if anyone has got any of the Logitech - Wingman Formula Force wheels & pedals working?

Google is your friend. You'll want to modprobe iforce.

Thanks Leech,

It looks like now my problem is to find a game that I can test the wheel under in Ubuntu!? :KS

I input modprobe iforce in the cli, & got the response below?

handy@BirdFish:~$ modprobe iforce
FATAL: Error inserting iforce (/lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/kernel/drivers/input/joystick/iforce/iforce.ko): Operation not permitted

Obviously I don't know what I'm doing! :confused: :KS

But I enjoy it as much as I can anyway! :mrgreen:

sudo modprobe iforce

Hmm.. I'll try that, my wheel uses IForce as well.
As for games Grand Prix Legends (openGL) will apparently run under Wine.
It is truly great.....

Thanks & Thanks! :KS

There's always Torcs. Not sure if Tuxracer will use the wheel. I can't recall if I ever tried to use my Microsoft Sidewinder wheel or not in linux...
