Logitech G293 Wheel support

’m running kernel 5.16.16-zen1-1-zen. I just got a logitech g923 (PS4/PC version) (wheel, pedals, shifter - the pedal and shifter connect to the wheel base, and a single USB cable runs to the PC). It seems it’s detected. lsusb shows:

Bus 003 Device 019: ID 046d:c267 Logitech, Inc. G923 Racing Wheel for PlayStation 4 and PC

cat /proc/bus/input/devices has

With evtest, I get this:

And it’s similar with jstest. In both cases, pressing buttons registers input, but turning the steering doesn’t show up, and neither do gear shifts, or any pedal actions.

When trying to use Steam, it sees the G923 as a generic controller and not a wheel. Any ideas on how to get the wheel recognised? Do I need to install some packages?

Re: Logitech G293 Wheel support

hello ashic,
I'm having the exact same problem as you two years later
I'm using the same kernel and the same wheel

I've managed to get the pedals and wheels working by installing "linux-zen-headers" and "new-lg4ff-dkms-git"(aur), the "oversteer"(aur) package allows you to configure you wheel as you wish

i followed this guide that was useful:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Logitech_Racing_Wheel

I doubt that this other stuff i did was effective but i'm including it incase you do the above and it isn't enough to resolve your problem

I've also created a file named /etc/udev/rules.d/99-logitech_g923_racing_wheel.rules
the contents of the file are as follows:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", MODE="0666"

#KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{idProduct}=="c266", ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", MODE="0666" GROUP="games"
