I got my MS Sidewinder FF Wheel and Pedals to work fine under Mandriva, just needed to download a driver or 2, was pretty easy, not sure if the driver was also for other Sidewinder products. I will check it out and let you know, as I am about to set up my wheel again soon (new install), however it may be a day or 2 as I am quite busy at the moment.

I have both a USB and Gameport Sidewinder.

 

The USB one is simply plug and play, and works automatically so I assume you have a gameport one.

 

I dont have a gameport on my PC anymore so I cant test it for you,

 

but back with 10.1 and maybe 2006, all I had to do was type: "modprobe sidewinder" into a terminal, and it would work fine. :)

 

Hope that helps. ;)

Yeah, nothing is supposed to happen. ;)

 

Once I typed that, I could go into Joystick Config of KDE, and the sidewinder would be recognised. (And didnt require any further setup)

 

(If you search the forums for "sidewinder"........ you'll find a few other modrprobe commands that you might need.

 

Good Luck.
