Call for testers: TrueForce on G923 under Proton #27

Description

@mescon

Looking for G923 owners on Linux

The G923 (all variants: 046d:c266 PS, 046d:c26d/046d:c26e Xbox) speaks the same TrueForce stream protocol as the RS50 and G PRO - confirmed on Windows by the Trueforce-For-All project, with owners of both variants running TrueForce haptics there.

On Linux, the G923's normal force feedback already works through the in-tree HID++ path (nothing changes there). What has never been tested is TrueForce on a G923 under Proton - and as of current master, the pieces are in place:

  • the udev rule now grants hidraw access for all three G923 PIDs, which is what lets Logitech's own SDK DLLs reach the wheel from inside Proton;
  • the TrueForce shim installer and the per-game setup are the same as for the RS50/G PRO.

What to try

  1. Install the driver per docs/GETTING_STARTED.md (steps 1-3, including staging the SDK DLLs and PROTON_ENABLE_HIDRAW=1).
  2. Launch a TrueForce sim (ACC and AC EVO are the verified ones on RS50).
  3. Drive over kerbs / rev the engine and tell us whether you feel high-frequency haptics on top of normal force feedback.

What to report (either way)

  • Wheel variant and lsusb | grep 046d
  • Whether normal FFB kept working
  • Whether TrueForce haptics appeared
  • dmesg | grep -iE 'g923|hidpp' and, if you're up for it, a short USB capture (tools/linux_game_capture.sh)

A negative result is just as valuable - it tells us whether the SDK's device check accepts the G923 identity via hidraw, which is the one unknown we cannot test without the hardware (this project develops on an RS50).
