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.
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.
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
