Logitech G29 and Linux?

[Drakon]

Hello fellow Truckers or just Steam Members.

I want to buy the Logitech G29 mostly to play ETS2 and ATS on Steam on Linux.

I searched a little bit but only found that the driver is working correctly on Kernel 4.4 .

Well, i would like to dig a bit "deeper" into there, is maybe someone here who actually uses the G29 on Linux and can tell me, how fine it works there?

Thanks in advance!

I used that to get my driving force pro to work so it should work as well for the g27. The example commands show for the g27, so its probably a safe assumption. I'm on 4.6 and I still cant get force feedback to work, although I really haven't tried to hard.

Well you talk about the G27, but i talk about the G29. Are the "intern" commands for the wheels nearly the same?

[brian_va]

must have seen g29 and thought g27, my mistake. in that case, I have no idea if it will work using the above steps with ltwheelconf, might want to ask google on that one. Better solution may be to see if upgrading to a new kernel is an option, what are you running now?

I don't have the wheel so far, i'm thinking to buy it, so i would like to exactly know that it will work xD.

I have nothing against to tweak some config files or execute some commands.

I already asked google and got back that the driver for the G29 seems to work perfectly on Kernel 4.4 but i would like to know, if i can still change like the maximum "wheel degrees" (For e.g. to get the fully 900°) and such things.

[brian_va]

not sure, driving force pro here and when I plug it in it calibrates and then unlocks to allow full 900 degree. g29 would probably do the same, but that is really just a guess. there is no management software for linux, so you really don't get much for configuration.

[Drakon]

Yeah you unlock it with the software in the guide you posted up there.

Well i googled some more and someone on reddit posted, that the G29 seems to unlock the full 900° in ETS2 on Linux Kernel 4.4 too.

yes, that software will unlock it or allow setting the rotation degree, but it is not necessary on the newer kernels, I don't use it now.

Well i will ask a bit more around to guys who actually own a G29 and play ETS2 / ATS on Linux.

But still thanks so far :)
