I have Genius Wheel 3 MT with force feedback, but ff dont working for me :( This problem in kernel settings, or with drivers, or with my configs?
I have this output:

    Hi,

    It looks like your device isn't supported by the kernel. Do you know how the iforce module ended up being loaded? Was it loaded automatically or did you modprobe/insmod it?

    Regards,

    Stephen

    [aslok@3r]2011.05.29-21:00:22:~$ lsmod | grep -i iforce

    Hi!

    >It looks like your device isn't supported by the kernel
    I think ff not supported, works without ff =(

    > Do you know how the iforce module ended up being loaded?
    Only by hands, manual modprobe it..

    Hi,

    If the kernel doesn't autoload a force-feedback driver for your device then it's likely that as you guess force-feedback isn't supported. I suggest you contact linux-input@vger.kernel.org to see if anyone there can help...

    Regards,

    Stephen
