I have the same wheel, trying to configure it for Grid Autosport on Linux. Did you manage to make it work ?

Add me in to that same boat.

[francois.marot]

Maybe it can help you, here is how I managed to hack the wheel working in Grid Autosport, but no force feedback though.

sudo modprobe iforce => so that the joystick is recognised and a device is created in

I have created a file in "/etc/udev/rules.d/99-input-wheel.rules" containing:

KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0004", ATTRS{idVendor}=="06f8", MODE="0666"

Then i run xboxdrv (previously installed) in a terminal with this configuration:

xboxdrv --evdev /dev/input/event22 \
--evdev-absmap ABS_WHEEL=x1,ABS_BRAKE=LT,ABS_GAS=RT,ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x,ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y \
--evdev-keymap BTN_TOP=tl,BTN_TRIGGER=tr,BTN_TOP2=back,BTN_THUMB=start,BTN_A=x,BTN_BASE3=y,BTN_BASE4=b,BTN_BASE5=a,BTN_BASE=lt,BTN_BASE2=rt \
--dpad-as-button --mimic-xpad --debug --verbose --evdev-debug

Hope it may help

Thanks for the heads-up guys. I'm also trying to get the T500RS to work on Linux (Mint 18.1, currently running mainline kernel 4.10.17) and on my end, the throttle fails to register completly while the clutch and brake register as *buttons" 7 and 8. Is there any way to fix this?

I'm trying to use just the pedals as a "poor man's rudder" solution in Falcon BMS (under WINE) and X-Plane 11 on Linux.

I tried the xboxdrv solution but it made no discernable difference to the pedals behaviour.
Thanks in advance,

Uwe

Thanks to Andrew Conrad it's now possible to use the Thrustmaster TX and T500RS wheels on Linux (no FFB for now I think but it may be on the cards in the future):
