Hi, is there any chance of having the universal-pidff driver added to Bazzite? It adds support for a bunch of race wheels, and not being able to install it due to being immutable is pretty upsetting. If it will be added, any timeline of when?
If there’s a way to install it now, let me know please.
See here: GitHub - JacKeTUs/universal-pidff
I would like to 2nd this request. I recently purchased a direct drive wheel base & peddle that this driver is listed as supporting. I can steer and use the peddles but there is no force feedback. I see that the writers of universal-pidff have written a submission to the Overlords of Linux back in 2022.
I would also like a work around if this is not to be added soon.
Thank you
It’s the single reason I’m still needing to boot into Windows. I’m sure we’re not the only ones, just that many don’t know about these forums.
I’ve tried putting putting a post in the Discord about it, but unfortunately no response
I found your OP trying to see if there was a way of installing this package/driver after a lot of time spend searching for a solution to no FFB.
Boxflat (s.ware developed by one of the driver devs) works great as a hardware configurator (if you have a Moza setup). I was hoping the driver might have been included with it but it wasn’t. I guess it’s a different level of a security risk, driver vs config tool.
It’s only been a week for me, without FFB. I haven’t resorted to dual boot at this stage… Or a different distro…
Edit: Looks like Boxflat does support various hardware vendors…
Yeah, I really don’t want to have to change distros as I’m really enjoying Bazzite. I still have my Windows installation for now, but at some point I likely won’t, so It’d be huge if we can get some wheel drivers such as above added into Bazzite. It’d make sense, being a gaming distro that’s also immutable.
It’d be possible to install the drivers even if it weren’t baked into Bazzite, if they were available as akmods, but they’re not
I’ve created a Github issue, as I believe devs are more likely to see it there than here: https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/2256

You could use Bluebuild to add that (looks like it’s in the Fedora COPR) to a custom image and then switch to your new custom image.
Once you’ve got that running and can report it works, that will probably help in regards to them adding it officially. (Confidence)
Is it driver issues or just input rules issues? My g29 worked with the desktop version, I rebase to the home theater version (boots to steam big screen) which is just the deck image for easier HDR, and it worked, but my g29 now doesn’t, and oversteer can’t see it, but input mapper does and so does everything else but games don’t work with it aside from the face buttons. But the ujust add user to input command doesn’t work on the deck version. And you can’t edit input rules.
Appreciate your report on this. I had bought the kids a G29 for Christmas that they are using on an Xbox, but I was going to plug it into the Bazzite system connected to the same PC to see if it works.
well after firing up my test rig, using cachy, using bazzite, couldn’t get my g29 to work, even though it did before the rebase. well one thing i noticed in lsusb was my wheels id changed from 046d:c24f to 046d:c260, even on the test rig. long story short, it needs to be in ps3 mode to work… which is weird because i never took it out of ps4 mode ever and when i first installed bazzite it was still in ps4 mode but had the c24f id. somehow rebase kicked it into ps4 mode. so at least for the g29, use ps3 mode.
Thanks! Very helpful!
