installing usb_modeswitch
Hi there,
I need to install usb_modeswitch in order to get my racing wheel working.
My Logitech G923 requires signals to be sent to change its usb mode every time it is plugged in.
I have done this successfully on other distros by installing usb_modeswitch and I just tried to do it in Bazzite with an RPM, but got an error message.
Please help me get this installed.

this is real weird
imean not being able to install modswitch
This is a arm package you're trying to install.
oh yeah
didn't notice the command bing run
yeah that's an ARM package
I think this is the right package? but it still did not work
Oh, it's already preinstalled
so, I tried running the command that fixes the wheel
I have not had this issue on other distros
I have tried different USB ports of course
and restarting the PC
it still does not work even after I got this working
my wheel is not recognized by steam, games, oversteer, anything...
hmm did you odentify the device first
make sure it's detected at all
how do I do that?
well
lsusb shows it
run the command with sudo maybe
i mean modeswitch
I did that
here
hmm
it mentions mode & class
I don't think it is working properly, because usually when that command is executed, the wheel resets (this is my experience on other distros)
i'm not sure how you'd determine those
yeah it ain't finding it it seems
is it one of those things where it acts like a flash drive initially
until you install the driver & the driver switches it to the correct mode
but this is just an annoyence on Linux since it already has the driver
AFAIK the driver was added to the LInux kernel some years ago
for this specific wheel
apparently it has very specific drivers because it uses the HID++ protocol unlike almost all other Logitech wheels
well it worked now for some reason
I used 01 instead of 81 at the end of the line
case closed. time to do some racing
thank you very much @nagito || Knight of Emilia for assisting 🙂
at least it uses some standard
some devices don't
