Title:
No force-feedback for Saitek Cyborg Evo Force
Status in joystick package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
What I expected to happen:
I plug in Saitek Cyborg Evo Force joystick, run ffmvforce or ffcfstress and
can adjust the force-feedback.
What happenend instead:
No force-feedback at all.
ffcfstress raises error "ERROR: device (or driver) has no constant force
feedback support [ffcfstress.c:194]" although the joystick has constant force
feedback support.

Hi,
The joystick is recognized by the OS and can read axis and button
information. However, no force-feedback can be apply e.g. via
`ffmvforce` (will not complain but does nothing) or `ffcfstress`
(complains, that hardware or driver do not support force-feedback).
$ ffcfstress -d /dev/input/event8
ERROR: device (or driver) has no constant force feedback support
[ffcfstress.c:194]
I tried to patch the iforce kernel module myself based on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/792937 and
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/73006485/Linux-Force-Feedback-for-Saitek-Cyborg-Evo-Force%20%281%29.patch
. My kernel module is working and loaded, however, the patch didn't enable
force-feedback (probably I was missing something in the patch, since the linked
patch is outdated).
Since, I have absolutely no clue what else I could do, to get force-feedback
working, I post this here since in an ideal world this should work plug&play.
What can I do to enable force-feedback for my joystick using ubuntu?
Thanks a lot!
