Thread: Andretti steering wheel/pedals

i driving games, , torcs , playable the
keyboard arrow keys. installed vdrift, unplayable with
arrow keys, thought try old andretti steering
wheel/pedals setup. has both usb , gameport connectors, needs
drivers gameport, doubt in existence
ubuntu (the old win98 drivers work xp, , works fine
there).with usb, wheel recognised:
$>lsusb
bus 005 device 001: id 1d6b:0001 linux foundation 1.1 root hub
bus 004 device 002: id 1241:1111 belkin mouse
bus 004 device 001: id 1d6b:0001 linux foundation 1.1 root hub
bus 003 device 001: id 1d6b:0001 linux foundation 1.1 root hub
bus 002 device 002: id 0738:4420 mad catz, inc.

bus 001 device 001: id 1d6b:0002 linux foundation 2.0 root hub

vdrift, or torcs not recognise wheel, when trying to
run jscal, wheel , pedals, , buttons, reproduce mouse
movements , buttons! have looked through can (i'm linux
re-newbie, played around in mid 90s it, 10.04
did decide use linux main os)but can't figure out if, or how,
tell machine 2 different devices, , let me use
them playing.
hoping 1 of smart cookies on here make easy (and me silly!)
thanks!
