Microsoft Force Feedback 2 Driver for Linux Project
- News:
12/08/2002: Version 4 fixes a bug in set_effect fonction, new patch for 2.4.19 kernel, no new features (planned: upload user defined effect to the joystick).
07/18/2002: Version 3 fixes various bug + add delay capability, gforce has been improved (new version 0.3).
07/05/2002: Version 2 of the patch, the driver now supports constant, periodic, ramp, inertia, friction, damper and spring effects.
07/01/2002: The driver works with 2.4.18, I removed source of the old driver from the site and add a patch for the 2.4.18 kernel.
The driver is now a part of the HID subsystem, the original patch is from Johann Deneux, it's the same patch where I add stuff for the Sidewinder joystick.
I add an utility : gforce, which is a gtk interface to test the driver.

- What you'll find here:
A alpha stage development of a driver for the
sidewinder forcefeedback 2 joystick.
You can upload any kind of effect and play it with a GTK interface called gforce
When rmmod'ed: stop all effects, reset device.

Older versions
To apply the patch get a fresh 2.4.19 kernel, cd linux, zcat patch-2.4.19-ff | patch -p1 , and when you configure the kernel choose Y for PID device in USB section and Y or M for evdev in INPUT section.
don't know if it works with other kernel's releases.
To test: modprobe hid modprobe evdev.
Test program : gforce version 0.3.
