Getting the wheel to work in steam

Hello, Now that the first step is done, I'll try getting the wheel to work correctly on my deck

T300 F1 addon is recognized, but in oversteer I have this message

So I can't change much settings.

fftest to see if it works, rumble effect work, the others doesn't but i guess it has to do with this

Installed windows driver in steam games but the wheel is simply not detected, not a single input. Using proton-ge, I checked other issue and it's either down to proton version and steam input.

/home/deck/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton9-20/files/bin/wine control joy.cpl shows nothing

Finally tried speed dream. It detect input? but in game nothing moves, no steering no accelerator.

So there's something that prevents access to the wheel correctly? I did the udev rules. But i'm kinda clueless about why i'm not even having correct linux support before tackling windows support.

Sounds very similar to #127, unfortunately I don't have a solution for it at the moment. There was also #132 which I at least initially thought might've been related, but I'm not sure.

so it's a case of two driver for a single device and it doesn't pick tmff2 if i understand correctly? the other guy managed to get his T248 working on deck, so i will hope a new deck update comes out, wipe out my rootfs so that i can start clean

Not quite, the initial question was how to force hid-tmff2 to be used for the device, but as I pointed out a bit down the thread, this driver is being loaded properly but the input issue is in some other layer, but I don't quite know which or what the issue exactly is.

Please do report back if updating the deck fixes this issue for you, at least it'll be a bit more data to (hopefully) debug further.
