Wheels - split axis option

Hello everyone.
I'm afraid there's no option to split pedal axis for wheels (for example mine: Logitech Inc. WingMan Formula Force GP) in current Linux kernel out of the box. jstest detects only 2 axes (one for wheel and second combined axis for pedals).

[dobo@arch ~]$ jstest /dev/input/js0 
Joystick (Logitech Inc. WingMan Formula Force GP) has [b]2 axes[/b] and 6 buttons. Driver version is 2.1.0.
Testing ... (interrupt to exit)
Axes:  0:     0  1:     0 Buttons:  0:off  1:off  2:off  3:off  4:off  5:off ^C
[dobo@arch ~]$

I found a kernel patch for kernel 2.4.20 (http://www.zefix.tv/gpl_linux/logitechm … xxis.patch). Is it possible to port it for kernel branch 2.6?
Or maybe there's another option to split axis?
