Hi, 

 
I have been trying to enable force feedback with my MS SideWinder FF2 for a while. My Linux system is a Xubuntu
8.04 (kernel 2.26) After a lot of problems, I have made some progress. First I figured out I had to recompile
the kernel with options to activate the force feedback support (PID Force feedback). Sorry, I suppose it
was obvious for you.

Then I tested my Sidewinder with ff-utils and geforce-0.3. I could get pretty convincing force effects but
only once: after the 1st effect is finished, if I ask for another one, the system freezes and I have to
reboot. This is a reproducible process.

I do not know whether I made some mistake during the compilation of the kernell (I have no sound and no wifi
with this kernel) or if this is a normal behaviour considering that the Sidewinder FF2 support is
experimental. I think it is not far from working since the force effects seem good to me

I have another computer with Vista and I installed fedit (to generate force feedback effects) and SniffUsb
2.0 to monitor the USB communications between the joystick and the computer. Maybe this could help
someone using my logs to improve the current driver?

Many thanks
