Linux "hid-universal-pidff" Driver Proposed For Fixing More Quirky Devices
The hid-pidff driver exists within the Linux kernel for enabling force feedback 'FF' support on various USB HID PID (Physical Interface Device) compliant devices
With a new set of patches posted yesterday, that hid-pidff driver is extended to "hid-universal-pidff" for supporting more functionality on quirky devices. Last patch introduces a new, universal driver for PID devices that need some special handling like report fixups, remapping the button range, managing new pidff quirks and setting desirable fuzz/flat values. This work has been done in the span of the past months with the help of the great Linux simracing community, with a little input from sim flight fans from FFBeast.
