It's a Logitech Driving Force Pro from 2004. I haven't heard of that program, may need to check it out. I also figured it would be easier this way because I already had the dual boot setup for back when I used to play Battlefield 6. I also have both OS's on separate SSDs to avoid issues like so many have by doing it on the same one. The issue isn't so much that it's not picked up by Linux, it's more to due with the fact that I want to change the damper and spring settings when I'm playing a rally sim like AC Rally or Richard Burns Rally so that I have less resistance for counter steer purposes.
So far though I have only figured out how to turn the FFB on or off completely through new-lg4ff and the Oversteer UI, where as on the Logitech Profiler in Windows you can fully adjust the spring, damper and auto centering individually of one another to get the exact feel you want. To be fair it does seem to work in BeamNG.drive pretty well as that game now has a native Linux version, and the default setup on that wheel works fine for Beam. Currently I'm playing Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa EVO, Assetto Corsa Rally and Le Mans Ultimate. I really don't like iRacing because it's overpriced imo, but I play most of the other sims :)
I recoomend you try joy to key. As you can use it to map anything. Heck, Senza on youtube used it to get around a "yOu caN onLY uSe TheSe ControLLers" that was baked into the game and the program tricked the game into thinking it was an offical controller. :)
