--- Comment #10 from Ralf Jung post+wine@ralfj.de --- I tried Wine 1.9.20. The behavior is still as described in the first post:
* If I use the kernel driver, I get force feedback, but the assignment of buttons to in-game controls is not very useful.
* If I use xboxdrv
sudo xboxdrv --detach-kernel-driver --trigger-as-zaxis --axismap "-z=z" --force-feedback
then the buttons work fine (I can break and accelerate with the analog shoulder triggers), but I get no force feedback.
