Flight System G940 - uinput based driver (linux)
User space driver for Flight System G940, based on uinput
This is a very simple (but fast and solid) replacement for the G940 kernel driver.
All 14 analog axes, 3 HAT-Switches and 23 buttons (incl. Mode- and Deadswitch ) are already reported (no FF yet).
How to use this driver, overview:
- ensure libusb 1.0 developer package is installed
- clone repository from github
- build the driver from source
- adapt some udev rules to give the driver write access
to the uinput system and read access to G940 USB device from user space - add your user to the 'input' group, activate the new rules
- test the driver with G940 device and a game, or 'evtest' utility
Bellow are some commands and example udev rules you could use:
#apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
$git clone https://github.com/fred41/G940.git
$cd G940
$make
KERNEL=="uinput", SYMLINK+="input/uinput", GROUP="input"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="046d", ATTR{idProduct}=="c287", MODE="0660"
Don't forget to add your user to group 'input'. Activate the new permissions by a restart.
To test your new G940 driver, run it from terminal (./g940) and use your game to test functionality.
You can also use 'evtest' utility for testing.
Good luck :)
