Firmware updated, still not working

[MaestroGlanz]

I have updated the firmware with the Thrustmaster tool in Win7, but it is still not working in American Truck Simulator on my Regolith (Ubuntu 20.10).

I might be able to provide some information, if you can tell me, what to look for.

Have you/can you try other games, as well as maybe fftest? If it's only American Truck simulator that's not working, it could be the same issue I'm seeing with other games, where the wheel is being recognised as a gamepad, and some or all the FF effects are disabled by the game.

@Kimplul You could take a look at this SDL function. I think the T300RS hasn't made it into the list yet:

https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/e1db4b82ecf4b2420840b7b31a666563b2656481/src/joystick/SDL_joystick.c#L2049

Then it depends on games or Wine/Proton using SDL to ask for this information. But I think it's the best place to start.

Games like DR had internally defined profiles that they would apply when the associated device was found, but it would use a gamepad profile when there was none.

That's the result of the sudo make install command.

Looks like the installation fails at some point.

The SSL errors don't stop the module from compiling, but might stop the module from loading if your distro has disabled unloading unsigned code. See #8 (maybe also #14?) and particularly the StackOverflow thread linked in that issue:
https://superuser.com/questions/1214116/no-openssl-sign-file-signing-key-pem-leads-to-error-while-loading-kernel-modules/1322832#1322832

This /sys/bus/hid/devices/XXXX:044F:B66E.XXX/rangeis not found in the /sys/bus/devices directory

It should be created automatically when the module is loaded properly, you can run sudo modprobe hid-tmt300rs and see if there are any error messages.

The file /etc/modprobe.d/hid-tmt300rs.conf is also not available in the modprobe.d directory

That file has to be created manually, I should maybe specify that in the README.
