Yes, I saw your (perhaps old) patch for adding FF support to joydev while I was doing some research before starting this project. I was under the impression that the current Sidewinder PID driver was working, though...a bit of poking at the code tells me I was pretty wrong :) I use a Wingman Force personally, so I hadn't done much looking at the PID side of things.

The newer interface has working iForce (logitech, guillemot, et al) and MS sidewinder drivers written for it, so that's the one I was targetting.
Well, if you mean the Sidewinder Force Feedback 2, that driver seems to be only a stub. I am currently working on a new PID FF driver (which will cover that Sidewinder).
Also I'm planning some kernel internal FF interface updates and probably introducing FF interface to /dev/input/jsX also.
