Logitech Wheel 923 doesn't show as an option in Oversteer

[McDaver]

I am running Ubuntu 18.04.5 and installed Oversteer. After a reboot and running Oversteer with my G923 wheel plugged in, it's not detected as an option in the Oversteer dropdown selection box. I checked in HWINFO for the Logitech wheel and it does show up. Am I missing something and this should work, or can someone add support for the G923? From my understanding it should be compatible with all G29/G920 functions. I can test if a change is made.
Here is the info from my Linux HWINFO list.

Please see #37.

@berarma With the merge of #37, this should be closed now. @McDaver The G923 wheel does not yet have full support but can be made to work using the patch submitted in this pull request: berarma/new-lg4ff#50 as well as running usb_modeswitch or simply adding the udev rule mentioned by @JacKeTUs in their original comment on that same pull request.

Thanks for reminding me of this issue. This is for the XBox version. It's not supported by new-lg4ff and never will since it's more similar to a G920.

It's not recognized by Oversteer either but I can add it. I'll need that someone confirms that it works correctly.

Sorry, missed the part about this being the XBox version. Not sure if OP already did this, but the patches in this series need to be added to kernel. There is an issue with the second patch which should be easily fixable, as I describe here.

G923 XBOX version still doesn't show up. I tried it both with and without the new-lg4ff package but neither worked. lsusb recognizes the device but cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep Logitech gives me nothing.

lsusb output:

sudo dmesg output:

You don't need new-lg4ff, you better don't use it.

Your wheel is in XBOX mode. If it works the same way as the G920, your distro should be configured by default to switch to PC mode using udev and usb-modeswitch. You could ask in the support forums of your distro.

Thank you for your reply. I tested both G920 and G923 on 2 separate machines with Ubuntu 20.04. G920 worked out of box on both machines but G923 didn't. Ubuntu has udev and usb-modeswitch installed by default but somehow they didn't work for G923. Do you have any suggestion on how to fix it?

The missing piece might be this: https://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/bb/viewtopic.php?f=2&p=19927

You can try the equivalent command before creating those files. It would be (run as administrator):

usb_modeswitch -v 046d -p c26d -M 0f00010142 -C 0x03 -m 01 -r 01

After running the command the USB product ID should change to 046d:c26e.

If that's the case it should be already recognized by Oversteer.

Perfectly solved my problem. Thanks!
