Will test that out in a second then. What's the dmesg command to gain such info?

Question, wasn't the patch supposed to be added to kernel 3.2?

I not to long ago update to kernel 3.3, and I was hoping that my DFGT wouldn't need LTWC to set it too native mode, but it still does.

Also when trying to compile LTWC I get fatal errors:

I guess you boys have never driven a 1993 Fiat Punto. The steering resistance is solid.

Sorry to bump this thread for the hells of batman, but I have a question.

I'm currently running LFS in WINE 1.3.28, I'm able to use the steering lock mod, but I also want to use Tweak 0.6B. I can't get it running for some reason, is it possible to run tweak in WINE?

Bump nobody?

Couple of questions lads. Firstly, being new to this mod how does one go about using this mod? I have read the OP but I still don't really understand it, it's not very clear (to me at least.) Secondly, this mod will work with 0.6B right? On and offline? Lastly, I'm thinkin' about creating some E30 gauges in Metric units, how would I go about doing this as well? I have Photoshop etc.

Ok doke, came across another annoyance. Whenever I first load up LFS or pit, the peddles seem to be on full even though I haven't touched them. I notice as soon as I press them down, the problem goes away. Although the brake peddle can stick sometimes.

I will do, but just now things seem to be fine

Quote from MadCatX :

You shouldn't have to compile WINE from sources. Check out the link I posted 2 posts above, it describes how to add a software repository with the latest version of WINE.
If you can set range with LTWC, can you also set it like this? "echo 720 > /sys/module/... .../range"

Just tried it, seems to have worked I think. I'll go check the range file. FFB isn't an issue anymore I have WINE 1.3.28

EDIT: Yes, range is at 720.

I can set the range fine with LTWC, and I've downloaded wine 1.3.28 just now. Although I have to find 32-bit development files to install it

As for when I plug in my wheel; The following behaviours happen.

Wheel sets to non-native mode;
Only 90* range;
Auto-centering disabled;
There is a "range" (attached) file in
It seems that it still doesn't enable native mode when plugged in, so I can goto 90* each way without auto-centering and any motor resistance. However as soon as I go all the way to full lock there is a lot of resistance and auto-centering is there.

I'm currently using WINE 1.3.15, I upgraded to it when I changed to the 64-bit version of Ubuntu a couple of days ago, when I installed the kernel heads & image as well.

I've installed the kernel heads & image, they didn't seem to make a difference. I'm still getting the same FFB as before but it keeps pulling to the left, I can't play properly unless I turn the force down to 0% or turn off FFB altogether in game.

Edit if you want I can try take a video of what I'm meaning.

Another question to ask might be, do you run McAfee Firewall? D:

Why not just buy a wheel? You can buy a Logitech DFGT for 40/50 bucks now and that has 900* rotation. If you have been playing for said 2 years, I'd imagine you would be somewhat good with a mouse & keyboard now?

P.S. I use a Logitech DFGT for drifting

My brother's laptop has a major issue with LFS, and I just can't put my finger on what it is. The FPS drop like crazy, it can go from anything to 47FPS all the way to 18FPS. It sucks because I usually play on his laptop because FFB is supported on Windows, and not on Linux atm. I've turned off drawing trees, flags and rubber. Switched the textures to low quality, and turned off skins as well. I also turned off the wind and run in window mode in a 16-bit version of a lower resolution. His laptop isn't even a year old which is why I'm surprised, because my laptop is nearly 2.5 years old.

His laptop specs are as follows:

Acer Aspire 5738Z - model number MS2264.
Intel Pentium T4400 (2.2Ghz, 800MHz FSB)
Intel GMA 4500M
2GB RAM
250GB HDD
Running Windows 7 64-bit.

As far as I can see, he should be getting at least a stable 50FPS because the CPU is sufficient enough, as is his GPU. I know LFS only uses single-core atm, but on my laptop I get 60FPS running in WINE on Linux. My laptop which is an Acer Aspire 6920 model number LF1, has an Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 (1.83 GHz) with 3GB RAM, nVidia 9500 GS GPU with a 250GB HDD running Ubuntu 11.04 is 2.5 years old.

Would be nice if someone could help out here. He's got plenty of diskspace left, more than 75% anyway.

Well I'm updating my kernel version in about 5/10 minutes, I'll be updating to 2.6.39 so I guess I could patch that version right?

Guys, would like to thank MadCatX for helping me set-up my DFGT. As a token of respect for everyone's hard work, I've just put up a tutorial on my site, on how to use ltwheelconf to set-up Logitech wheels.

See here.

Again! thanks for the help MadCat.

-BkS.

EDIT: Would someone be able to help me, I want to use FFB but I've no idea on how to patch my kernel to do that. Could someone show me?

Quote from MadCatX :

You unpack the archive, CD to the directory, run "make", then "./ltwheelconf -w DFGT -n". That should give you fully working DFGT with 900 deg range.

Thank you very much!

I may upgrade later on tonight then. Btw how do I get this LTWheelConfig working? I'm not that great at knowing how to unpack packages. I downloaded the .tar.gz (& the .zip just incase). I've been reading the other thread... it makes somewhat no sense to me. XD

EDIT: If it makes any difference I'm on kernel 2.6.38-11.

Quote from MadCatX :

Unfortunately the only way how to get the DFGT working properly is to manually patch the kernel, the patches will hopefully make it into Kernel 3.2.
Alternatively you can use the latest version of LTWheelConf (forum thread here) to set range and get separated throttle/brake axes(not sure about the latter), but you won't have any FF like that.

BTW what was it that got LFS working? My bet is that you just had set some weird resolution.

I installed Play On Linux a while ago, (Basically a cross-over for windows games) but before I had installed it, I installed LFS way before it, and it just wouldn't start. Then yesterday I decided to give LFS a shot again because I was sick of having to go and borrow my wee brothers laptop to play it xD. So I must have been missing some windows files I guess. I ticked "Emulate a desktop" & the "allow program to control windows" or something like that as well in WINE. Now after a few tweaks with the graphic/screens settings I'm getting at least 40FPS. Not bad for running on WINE, and FFB won't matter just now seems to pull to the left for a strange reason :S so I just disabled it.

Can anyone help with the DFGT issue?

Dude! It totally worked! Thanks! I haven't forced Unity 2D, but I'm getting anything from 26-37FPS. and when I'm still, up into the 70's. I'll go talk to one of my friends, see how I can force Unity 2D just for WINE. Before I do go though, with LFS in windows I had to run Logitech's Game Profiler in order for my DFGT to use at least 720*. I notice that the same thing happens in windows if I don't have profiler running. Is there a native program which runs in Natty that's equivelent to Profiler? Because without it I only get 90*

Quote from MadCatX :

Are you sure you have the right resolution set in Options->Screen? Also checking "Automatically capture the mouse in fullscreen windows" in winecfg->Graphics could resolve the mouse issue.
I have LFS running flawlessly here with WINE 1.3.27 so I certainly can be done. I wonder if Unity can be responsible for some of your problems, perhaps you can try forcing Unity 2D only, if nothing else I guess it'd help the performance a bit.

Oh right, I'll give that a shot see if it works. Will report back soon.

So I have LFS running in WINE 1.2.2 for the first ever. (Before I wasn't able to get it working), now however I'm at the first time setup process, however there is a few issues. My main one being, there is no mouse functionality, so I can't get past the setup process. Another issue I have is, the window size. My laptop has a max resolution of 1376x768, and I have a second monitor which has a max resolution of 1920x1080, however I use it in a 1370x768 resolution. However, LFS only starts up on laptop, but it looks like it's squished in a 4:3 aspect ratio, if you take a look at the screenshot below you'll see what I mean.



I'm also not able to put it into Window mode using the shift+f4 trick

If anyone has been able to get past this, would you be ever-so-kind and help me please?

Try putting the actual IP address instead of "auto" to the respective field. Also make sure there's no other program using port 63392 running on your machine.

But which IP address would "I" put in, if it were "me" hosting the server? There is no other program using port 63392, I just checked
