Have you tried layering it? https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/sigonze/hid-fanatecff-kmod/

i'm new to fedora, how do i layer it?

Potajito•6mo ago

Just follow those instructions Just this I think sudo dnf copr enable sigonze/hid-fanatecff-kmod sudo dnf install hid-fanatecff Although it says it not adapted to ostree

Potajito•6mo ago

Try with dnf see what happens

FrapskillarOP•6mo ago

Potajito•6mo ago

Afaik dnf is an alias to ostree so you can try an follow the ostree method It it says is borked, worth a try anyway

thanks

Ahh sucks, maybe some fedora atomic gurus can chime in I'm interested too, would like to get a fanatec device

FrapskillarOP•6mo ago

on my arch install it worked out for me oh well time to learn fedora more i suppose

copr enable sigonze/hid-fanatecff-kmod rpm-ostree install hid-fanatecff should have worked, issue with the copr maybe? I don't have a non-Atomic Fedora to test

Rin•6mo ago

forgot about distrobox lol, worked on fedora 40 distrobox

Rin•6mo ago

so rpm-ostree is not working for that, I'm don't much about it too probably someone else can understand it

Potajito•6mo ago

Does the driver work on distrobox?

Rin•6mo ago

I'm not sure if it works if you install the drivers and oversteer in the same distrobox, then export oversteer I don't have the hardware to test, oversteer with G29 works great for me

Potajito•6mo ago

Ovesteeer is included in bazzite I think? It may be interesting to request fanatec hid to be included if it isn't? Maybe worth pinging kyle

can't use dkms in distrobox

open an issue in https://github.com/ublue-os/akmods

and we can look into add this driver

FrapskillarOP•6mo ago

with which words should i open the issue? Oh, i remember now that i don't have a github account

Hello! I am also having the same issue and ended up here. I notice there is a bazzite-specific issue here: https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/901 Though should there be another issue created on Akmods if we hope to get this implemented? None exist yet.

So I was able to get the driver to work with a couple of tweaks I pulled hid-fanatecff to my /home folder and created a "wheel-driver.sh" as suggest by napaalm on the issue thread I posted; but with a few less commands

#!/bin/sh
set -x
sudo insmod ~/hid-fanatecff/hid-fanatec.ko
sudo cp ~/hid-fanatecff/fanatec.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/99-fanatec.rules
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

#!/bin/sh
set -x
sudo insmod ~/hid-fanatecff/hid-fanatec.ko
sudo cp ~/hid-fanatecff/fanatec.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/99-fanatec.rules
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

Then, in the makefile you have to make some tweaks I assume you have installed "kernel-headers-matched", and have done a full reboot since then. As of current, due to package availability on COPR, you do have to be on the testing branch right now Make the following changes to the makefile

KVERSION ?= `uname -r`
KERNEL_SRC ?= /usr/src/kernels/${KVERSION}/
MODULEDIR ?= /lib/modules/${KVERSION}/kernel/drivers/hid

KVERSION ?= `uname -r`
KERNEL_SRC ?= /usr/src/kernels/${KVERSION}/
MODULEDIR ?= /lib/modules/${KVERSION}/kernel/drivers/hid

I'm unsure if there is any real change here.... but this is what I've set it to be. I think /usr/src/kernels is different. Now for the commands. I have ld.bfd installed, which is installed with binutils-devel. I'm certain you can also use ld.gold. Regardless, within the hid-fanatecff folder, run

make LD=ld.bfd

make LD=ld.bfd

and then

sh ./wheel-driver.sh

sh ./wheel-driver.sh

the makefile only needs to be ran once every time your kernel version changes; but the ./wheel-driver.sh needs to be ran every single boot. For me I was able to find my device under /dev/input/event9 No matter what though, oversteer would refuse to cooperate with this. It might be an issue with my wheel. Despite this, forcefeedback worked properly in all the applications I tried so far. You should be seeeing your device being detected and setup properly in

sudo dmesg

sudo dmesg

If you get an error, try a USB 2.0 port. Hopefully that helps. Though could we get some confirmation on if this driver will be considered in an official capacity at any point in the future? Do we need to move that issue back over to akmods? Updated issue with a better organized version of what was said here.
